| Finnmarken finished

HURTIGRUTEN’S Finnmarken has emerged from its upgrade, and will soon sail as Otto Sverdrup.

The works were revealed on Wed on Hurtigruten’s Insiders Facebook group, with renders detailing upgraded staterooms (pictured), a brand-new gym & wellness centre, and a refreshed Science Centre.

Otto Sverdrup also includes three expedition restaurant concepts, Aune, Fredheim and Lindstrom; and has retained her popular art collection.

The cruise ship will operate between Bergen and Kirkenes until her name change is complete, when she will start expedition cruises from Dover and Hamburg to Norway in 2021.

Hurtigruten recently increased its liquidity through 2021 with a 105 million loan, with a maturity of three years, which will bring its cash reserves to a total of 200 million.
