Ever wondered what life was really like out on the ocean wave? Want
to take a leisurely journey by ship from continent to continent? Hurtigruten is
now offering guests the chance to do just this and enjoy a completely different
experience on board one of its Transatlantic voyages.
Expedition ship MS Fram will start her winter repositioning journey
from Las Palmas in the Canary Islands to Buenos Aires on October 14 in
order to begin sailing around Antarctica. She will then return again on March 12, ready to sail around Europe next summer, before making her way back
across the Atlantic once again on October 18.
During these special transatlantic crossings, guests can enjoy a
very different way of life. The atmosphere on board is informal and relaxed as
the ship’s crew cast their uniform life aside and slow down their pace of work. The
time is used to get the ship ready for the new season and crew members carry out
basic maintenance, while at the same time caring for the guests enjoying this transatlantic voyage as professionally and attentively as any
other.
There are fewer guests on board compared to other Hurtigruten voyages
and that alone makes the crossing unforgettable. Guests spend a lot of
time on deck, enjoying the sun or watching the ocean as it stretches from
horizon to horizon. Fram is equipped
with a sauna, whirlpool and fitness room and guests and crew mingle in a relaxed
atmosphere. The crossings also include
the famous Equator Baptism by King Neptune and his wife for those crossing the
Equator for the first time, as well as barbecues on deck.
The 17-day transatlantic voyage is priced from £1,615pp with full
board on the ship, based on two sharing. Flights are
extra.
