A Journey Redefined by Comfort

Travelling through the Norwegian fjords is an adventure filled with breathtaking sights – from dramatic cliffs and serene waters to quaint coastal villages. But what if you could elevate this experience even further? Picture yourself nestled in a world-renowned Stressless recliner or dining chair, designed by Ekornes, as you absorb the splendor of the fjords. This isn't just travel; it's luxury redefined.

Insight from Tone Elvheim, Headmaster of Hurtigruten Nord Norge

We spoke with Tone Elvheim, headmaster of Hurtigruten Nord Norge, to understand how comfort is seamlessly integrated into the experience of exploring the fjords.

Can you introduce yourself and tell us about your role and what you do?

"My name is Tone Elvheim, and I am the headmaster here on Hurtigruten Nord Norge. I have been here since 2021, and my role involves ensuring our passengers have an unforgettable journey through the Norwegian fjords."

What are the most important factors to consider when choosing furniture for a ship?

"The furniture must be easy to clean and Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) friendly. They should be simple and light for waiters to move, and easy to clean for those maintaining the restaurant. They must also cater to all guests, providing support as our bodies change over time."

Have passengers commented on the comfort and design of the chairs?

"Yes, passengers often praise the chairs for their comfort. They love that they can lean back, making it easy to relax and enjoy their coffee while taking in the beautiful views of Norway."

How do the chairs contribute to the general atmosphere in the restaurant?

"The chairs have a calming green color that blends perfectly with the restaurant's brown decor. They're easy to clean, which is a huge plus, and they create a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere."

Design That Stands Out at Sea

Can you share some specific design elements or adapted functions of the chairs that make them especially suited to Hurtigruten?
"The chairs are sturdy and remain upright even during rough weather, which is essential. They also have armrests that offer extra comfort and support, particularly for our older guests, preventing falls during rough seas."

How do you think the furniture's comfort contributes to the general experience of exploring the Norwegian fjords?

"Comfortable seating allows passengers to fully immerse themselves in the stunning views of the fjords. They often turn their chairs towards the windows, staying seated longer to enjoy the serene landscape."

The Perfect Blend of Comfort and Adventure

A voyage through the Norwegian fjords aboard Hurtigruten Nord Norge is more than just a trip; it's an experience. With the integration of Stressless recliners and dining chairs by Ekornes, your journey is transformed into a luxurious adventure. Lean back, relax, and let the breathtaking beauty of the fjords captivate you, all while seated in unparalleled comfort.

So, when you plan your next adventure to explore the wonders of Norway, remember that you don’t have to choose between comfort and excitement. With Stressless, you can have both. Lean back into the Norwegian fjords and discover a new dimension of travel comfort.
