Our take

Hurtigruten is an adventure travel company allowing guests to explore unique remote destinations. It offers expeditions to 250 destinations in more than 30 countries including Alaska, Antarctica and Arctic Canada.

The travel company is setting itself apart through its sustainable approach. They have converted three of its seven ships to hybrid, which will cut CO2 emissions by 25%, and NOx emissions by as much as 80%. Hurtigruten also invests in climate initiatives, like the Oceanites Antarctic Site Inventory project, which monitors penguin population changes in Antarctica.

Hurtigruten is ramping up its UK presence by focusing on recruiting talent for a London-based office. It is hiring talent to support all global markets such as digital marketing, product, itinerary, planning and excursions.
