Entertainment

The entertainment available aboard HX Hurtigruten Expeditions’ ships is as unique as the itineraries and experiences on offer with each exciting voyage; you’re not going to find Broadway-style stage productions and video arcades here, but you will find plenty of places to sit back and relax with refreshments while relishing in the stunning scenery surrounding you – a calm and casual experience perfectly complimenting the action-packed shore excursions on offer.

With both casual and formal dining venues available, you’ll be able to indulge in some fantastic food whatever your mood; and, with HX Hurtigruten Expeditions being specialists in Scandinavian cuisine, the impressive menus available feature some of the finest seafood dishes on the seas.

While the specific availability of each dining venue varies from ship to ship, you’ll find the following restaurants aboard ships in the HX Hurtigruten Expeditions fleet:

Family

If your little ones are ready for some big adventures, sailing with HX Hurtigruten Expeditions is a great idea. However, there are a few things worth considering if you’re looking at embarking on a HX Hurtigruten Expeditions holiday as a family with children.

HX Hurtigruten Expeditions does not provide any child care, kid’s clubs, or family orientated activities onboard. And, children under 5 are not allowed on itineraries sailing to Antarctica and South Georgia. For safety reasons, children under 12 will only be able to participate in select shore excursions.

So, while HX Hurtigruten Expeditions is happy to welcome children onboard and guests of all ages can enjoy the amenities available, there are a few things worth considering if you’re planning on travelling with younger children.
