The website also gives agents the opportunity to win a trip through its online contest, which ends July 16. Hurtigruten’s top 10 retail travel agents will be rewarded with a complimentary nine-day vacation for two to the Arctic’s Spitsbergen and Coastal Norway, October 1-9, 2015. Each winner and guest will join the company’s North American manager, Gordon Dirker, on their choice of a boat trip to Esmark Glacier, dog sledding on wheels or a wilderness evening at Camp Barentsburg. Tour guests will then board the MS Midnatsol for a four-day voyage along the fjord-lined Norwegian Coast. Winners will be announced by July 17, 2015.
