THE HIGHLIGHTS
EXCLUSIVE TALK BY CAROL KIRKWOOD Carol Kirkwood will give a fascinating on-board talk about her career as a BBC weather presenter and her time on Strictly Come Dancing. She will also take part in a special Q&A, join you in seeking the Northern Lights and accompany you on an excursion to the Kirkenes Snowhotel, where you’ll experience the local culture and Arctic wilderness first-hand, see the reindeer and huskies that live on-site and enjoy a cocktail in the elegant ice bar.
EXPERIENCE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS You’ll be sailing in an area well known for sightings of the light spectacle, so you stand a very good chance of witnessing them. You will also discover the legends and scientific explanations that surround them and benefit from Hurtigruten’s amazing Northern Lights promise, which guarantees that if you don’t see them, you will be offered another six- or sevenday cruise free of charge.
SAILING ON THE MS KONG HARALD Named after the current Norwegian king, Hurtigruten’s MS Kong Harald is a newly refurbished expedition ship that carries a maximum of 590 passengers and also delivers mail to the people of the Norwegian coast. It has a sundeck, two hot tubs and an observation lounge from which to enjoy the Norwegian landscape. There are also three excellent restaurants, a bakery, an ice-cream bar, a sauna and a fitness room.
If the Northern Lights don’t appear during your 12-day voyage, you’ll get another sixor seven-day Northern Lights cruise for free†. LIKE WHAT YOU SEE? YOU CAN VIEW ALL GH HOLIDAYS AT goodhousekeeping.com/uk/holidays
