Hurtigruten Aussie office

Norwegian-based cruise line Hurtigruten flagged plans to open a dedicated Australian office to help capitalise on local growth opportunities identified in the local market. The expansion plan will see a sales, marketing and operations team recruited, as well as the establishment of a dedicated local website.

The cruise line, renowned for its commitment to sustainability, has sourced an estimated 60,000 guest nights from the Australian market in 2019, many of which were secured via travel agents.

“The exclusively operational Hurtigruten Australia/nz team will be passionate like-minded experts and leaders,” said the company’s Managing Director APAC Region Damian Perry.

No details have yet been released on the timing and location of the new office.
