The line said it was entering a "new phase of our step-by-step return to operations” after more than a year of limiting sailing due to the Covid pandemic.

Booking levels are “almost 50% higher” than pre-pandemic levels, Hurtigruten said, reporting “strong” demand for 2022 small-ship cruising, with 2021 also “shaping up”.

“As vaccines are being rolled out and travel restrictions are lifted, we are seeing a huge pent up demand and strong booking trends across all markets,” said group chief executive Daniel Skjeldam. “When international travel resumes, we will be ready to welcome our guests onboard.”
