Safety is our #1 priority, so we have regular evacuation drills with Norwegian medical helicopters.
🥳Hurra! For Hurtigruta fylte 130 år. Vi hadde den store æren å seile inn i fødestede Stokmarknes med "Richard With" og vår adm. direktør Hedda Felin ombord og det ble dansing. Etter god stemning ombord med Stokmarknes Musikkforening ble vi tatt imot av folkefesten i Stokmarknes hvor Hedda og kaptein annonserte at vi skal endre vår hjemmehavn til selve Stokmarknes.
🤩Hurtigruten celebrated its 130th anniversary! We had the big honor to be sailing into our "birthplace" Stokmarknes with "Richard With" and our CEO Hedda Felin on board which ended in a dance. During the seiling the Brassband from Stokmarknes performed on deck and when we docked, we were met by a festival. There, Hedda and our captain announced that we will change our home harbour to Stokmarknes.
🥰God steming ute på dekk i går kveld under vår tradisjonell vinkekonkurranse mot søsterskipet MS Nordnorge!

It's a bit windy on our way to Bergen this morning 🌬️ However, the sunrise couldn't be more beautiful 😍 We love this time of the year, when the days are finally getting longer again while there's still snow in the mountains ❄️

Sailing in to the Trollfjord yesterday, just before midnight.
Science tells us this fjord was formed by glacial erosion.
Legend tells us it was when a Troll fell whilst holding an axe.
How do you believe it was formed?
