Hurtigruten reveals sailings for British Isles itinerary

Picturesque Ports, Isolated Islands and Wonderful Wildlife will sail round trip from Dover, with departures on 27 April, 4 July and 1 August.

Calls include Fort William, the Isles of Scilly, Rathlin Island and the Isle of Iona. The itinerary will also offer a range of excursions.

Passenger capacity onboard MS Maud, which will be newly refurbished by the April departure, will be limited to "around 500", with sailings operated according to guidance from the Norwegian government and local authorities in the UK.

Hurtigruten said Maud’s size would allow the line to explore sites and natural landmarks beyond the reach of larger ships.
