Hurtigruten Cruise Line Health & Safety Protocols
There are no compulsory vaccinations or health requirements for traveling to Norway, but it is the responsibility of all passengers to check and make sure they comply with any health requirements at the time of travel. For the most up-to-date guidance, check the Norwegian Institute for Public Health website.
Hurtigruten suggests you consult your doctor or relevant health authorities about any precautions you should take with regard to deep-vein thrombosis (DVT).
Onboard Safety
While Hurtigruten does not have a doctor or pharmacy on board, the trained officers are equipped to provide emergency medical assistance. Hurtigruten ships are also in proximity to land for urgent medical needs.
Hurtigruten prioritizes good hand hygiene and request all guests to regularly wash or sanitize their hands, especially before meals. Hand sanitizer stations are conveniently placed throughout the ship.
Hurtigruten's air-conditioning systems ensure a continuous supply of fresh air; Hurtigruten does not recycle air.
To ensure your well-being, it is recommended to have personal travel/health insurance. If you rely on medication, please bring an ample supply to cover any unforeseen delays, although they are rare. Hurtigruten recommends carrying your medication in your hand luggage, with clear labeling and usage instructions.
If you need to bring a prescription, Norwegian pharmacies require this in paper format with a doctors' signature. Mobile, email or app prescriptions will not be accepted.
