Hurtigruten - Polar Outside Cabin
Hurtigruten’s Polar Outside cabins have either a porthole or window; some cabins have limited view. All cabins include private bathroom with shower/WC, but not all cabins are renovated.
The cabins on board Hurtigruten are basic, but comfortable. Most cabins have twin beds, but some renovated cabins offer double bed. All triple cabins have two lower and one upper berth (=bunk bed).
The polar outside cabins can be located on the upper, middle or lower deck.
Only unspecified polar outside cabins are bookable on the shorter cruise stretches. The term unspecified cabin category means that one cannot pre-book a specific cabin type or number, nor the deck where the cabin is located. The cabin will be assigned to you upon check-in.
Upgrading to an Arctic Superior cabin is only possible 42 days or less before travel.
Facilities:
Hurtigruten is served by a fleet of 11 ships. All of them are working ships, transporting goods in addition to passengers. Since the ships will also call to ports during the night, some noise might occur. The facilities provided by the ships are uniform, but the choice of colours, materials and design means that each ship retains its own character.
They have large, comfortable lounges providing good views, fully licensed restaurants, cafés and bars, and souvenir shops that also sell a selection of toiletries. All, but the two oldest ships, have large panorama lounges located on the top deck.
The majority of the ships also have outdoor Jacuzzis, fitness rooms and saunas for passengers. The very newest ships have several bars, restaurants and cafés with varied menus, extended conference facilities and internet cafés. All the ships, with the exception of MS Lofoten and MS Vesterålen, have good facilities for disabled people and have lifts. All ships apart from MS Lofoten and MS Spitsbergen can transport cars.
