One of the really popular and well-received offers for groups is a meeting with the very founder of the Hurtigruten – Richard With.
Dressed in contemporary attire, Richard With welcomes you in the exhibition about DS Finmarken and the first years of Hurtigruten operation. He gives you an insight into the wild idea of creating a year-round route along the coast and how this became a reality.

The meeting with Richard With fits well into a tour or an event where there is room for something extra and special.
