Hurtigruten Expeditions is a leading travel company that offers unique, small-ship cruise experiences. The company has recently launched its new initiative called Work From Ship. The premise behind this new campaign is to attract passengers by providing high-speed WIFI if they need to work onboard. Hurtigruten Expeditions recognized that many people work from home and how work-from-home can be done anywhere.
The company has identified six destinations worldwide where reliable internet is possible. Some of the upcoming Work From Ship cruises will be in Alaska, sailing around British Columbia and the U.S. West Coast. Passengers have access to numerous working environments onboard and are invited to enjoy nature, wildlife, and the numerous activities on their extended lunch breaks.
