50 Degrees North Teams Up With Hurtigruten to Present a National Roadshow This August

The Nordic tour operator, 50 Degrees North, will present a National Arctic, Antarctica & Nordic Cruising Roadshow with Hurtigruten in August 2019. Over two weeks, the Hurtigruten and 50 Degrees North National Roadshow will cover 12 events in six cities: Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide.

Both travel agents and the general public are invited to attend the sessions and enjoy tales from the world's most beautiful ocean voyage, the Hurtigruten Coastal Voyage along the stunning Norwegian coastline. The sessions also include an impressive presentation on Antarctica and the Arctic and an opportunity to learn about the revolutionary hybrid powered and eco-friendly ships, MS Fridtjof Nansen and MS Roald Amundsen, as well as Hurtigruten's other new sustainability innovations.

The roadshow also includes prizes: Participating agents get the chance to be selected for an exclusive Hurtigruten & 50 Degrees North Educational tour 'Aurora Highlights' along the Norwegian Coast this December. Members of the general public have the chance to win a voyage for two along the Norwegian Coast on a northbound voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes.

The events feature two guest speakers: Dominic Barrington, a Polar Expedition Photographer for Hurtigruten, will regale stories on the Arctic and Antarctica while Tietse Stelma from 50 Degrees North will detail the ultimate coastal itineraries for travelling in his motherland of Norway.

Although the event is free, numbers are limited, and bookings are essential. Bookings can be made at Eventbrite (links below) or directly at info@fiftydegreesnorth.com / 1300 822421.
