The importance of preserving history and heritage is at the core of life at HX Hurtigruten Expeditions and in 2023 we celebrated a milestone of 130 years at sea. On our British Isles expeditions, we call at many ports where we offer a range of excursions to English Heritage sites, including Dover Castle. 

As we grow and develop the partnership with English Heritage, we are looking forward to bringing exciting opportunities to our passengers and members. When English Heritage members book a HX Hurtigruten Expeditions cruise directly with us, they will receive a 5% discount and 10% of the total booking cost will be donated to English Heritage.

Founded in 2015, English Heritage cares for and manages over 400 historic buildings, monuments and sites for some 10 million guests annually. They protect and bring to life six millennia, worth of English history, from world-famous prehistoric sites and ancient castles to modern wartime bunkers - ensuring these are around for future generations to enjoy.

English Heritage's work to restore and preserve England's vibrant and diverse history is no easy feat and is primarily funded through the generous support of public donations, partnerships and grants. They have now begun work on the largest conservation project in their history including renovations of Belsay Awakes, Marble Hill and various other works postponed throughout 2020 and 2021. We at Hurtigruten are proud to be supporting English Heritage in their important work.
