Hurtigruten sales team begins UK agent tour

The Hurtigruten sales team has started a UK-wide tour for travel agents.

The Norwegian coast cruise specialist has hosted evening events at the Cineworld in Ipswich (September 10) and Chichester (September 11), with two more planned in Cheltenham (September 17) and Ashton-under-Lyne (September 18).

Agents can gain information about Norway as a destination, understand the best way to experience the Northern Lights and Midnight Sun and put questions to the Hurtigruten team.

In addition, those attending the events will be entered into a prize draw to win a 12-day cruise for two.

James Howlett, head of UK sales at Hurtigruten (pictured), said: “We are experiencing high demand in the UK for sailings to Norway, which is testament to the relationships we’ve built with our trade agent partners and their commitment to us.

“Norway is a must-visit destination, and our roadshow provides the opportunity to speak to these agents to explain all the country has to offer and why Hurtigruten is the perfect option for their customers.

“The support we have received from the UK travel agent community continues to grow, and we look forward to hosting future roadshows across other parts of the UK and beyond.”
