Sustainable cruising will be “even more important” post-Covid-19 according to the boss of Hurtigruten after the line restarted its operations this week.

“I’m certain that small-scale travel will be back faster than mass tourism"

New onboard health and hygiene policies were unveiled during a Norwegian coastal voyage from Bergen onboard Finnmarken, carrying around 200 Norwegian and Danish guests.

Speaking onboard the vessel via video call on Wednesday (17 June) chief executive Daniel Skjeldam outlined some of the procedures introduced – including digital dining menus, face scanners for temperature checks and enhanced sanitisation of public areas.
