Norway’s Hurtigruten has unveiled a record result for 2019 amid its shift away from its coastal ferry specialism.

Hurtigruten logged a pretax profit of NOK 473m ($51.4m) against a NOK 50m profit in 2018. Revenue increased from NOK 5.43bn to NOK 5.99bn last year.

The strong profit for last year came as Hurtigruten, which has traditionally concentrated on the coastal service between Bergen and Kirkenes in Norway, has changed its business in fundamental ways.
