Hurtigruten Group has launched an online platform featuring information and support for UK agents selling cruises by Hurtigruten Expeditions and Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express.

The new platform, agentportal.hurtigruten.com, features live availability, real-time pricing and instant booking.

It also has an overview of agent bookings and commissions; training to become a Certified Hurtigruten Specialist; information about Hurtigruten Expeditions, Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express, destinations, ships and excursions; and access to customised marketing materials.

The group has launched a competition for one UK travel agent to win a cabin on a four-day cruise on expedition ship MS Fridtjof Nansen (pictured) from Portsmouth to Liverpool, departing May 7, 2022.

To be in with a chance of winning, UK agents need to sign up to the portal by July 31.

“Our new agent portal does exactly this and we are delighted to launch all this handy information in one place. We urge travel agents across the country to sign up today and start using this excellent platform.”
