Hurtigruten is making Norway more affordable for solo travellers by reducing the single supplement to zero on selected cruises. Voyages include the classic 11- and 12-night round-trip sailings from Bergen, which call at 34 ports, sail world-famous fjords and offer unforgettable scenery. Shorter one-way, six- and seven-night trips are also available. The list of voyages changes from month to month, based on occupancy so it is worth checking back if your preferred date isn't available in the first instance. hurtigruten.com.au
