Hurtigruten offers free flights and two free excursion this winter

Hurtigruten has launched a free flights offer for this winter along with two free excursions for bookings made before 31 August.

Applicable on the Classic Round Voyage on selected dates from October to December, including a departure that covers Christmas and one that covers New Year, this is the first time the operator has rolled out its free flights during the winter months.

Agents can promote it to customers wanting to see Norway at this time of year and to experience the Northern Lights, prices now lead in at ?957pp.

Kathryn Beadle, sales and marketing director at Hurtigruten said: ?Our free flights promotion went down exceptionally well with agents on our summer voyages and we?ve now decided to offer it selectively this winter. In addition, we are offering two free excursions to ensure customers receive even more added value and to further help agents in making the sale. Seeing the Northern Lights is such a draw for many people and we hope this offer will give agents something extra special to promote over the coming weeks. We have also included dates that cover Christmas and New Year so if people book early they really will get an amazing deal at this peak time.?

In addition, Hurtigruten?s Classic Round Voyage has no single supplements on it which means that single travellers can take advantage of the free flights offer and also have sole use of a cabin without having to pay any single persons charges.

Free excursions include a trip to the North Cape (worth ?69pp) where passengers can cross the 71st parallel, the northernmost point on the European continent and a Taste of the Vesteralen (worth ?49pp) which explores the beautiful Vesteralen island and includes a ferry trip on Gullesfjord and Sigerfjord.

Prices start from ?957 per person including full board accommodation and free flights.Transfers and taxes are also included.
