This concept emphasizes local produce along the Norwegian coast, showcasing the best of Norwegian culinary offerings to guests. Nilsen also added further, \u201cGangstand now has more medals from the World Cheese Awards than the 34 ports a Hurtigruten Coastal Express ship visits during its journey up and down the Norwegian coast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nilsen also pointed out that 80% of the food served onboard is locally sourced, emphasizing their commitment to supporting small-scale local fisheries, farms, butchers, and businesses. This commitment is integral to the guest experience, turning them from tourists into true travelers.<\/p>\n<p>Hurtigruten recently launched its Culinary Ambassador program and the innovative Bubbles of the Sea concept. This concept began last year when 1,700 bottles of sparkling wine were submerged off the Norwegian coast at 112 feet for six months. Following its success, the brand has submerged an additional 4,500 bottles, including standard and magnum-sized bottles, to be enjoyed onboard next year.<\/p>\n<p>CEO Hedda Felin of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruisebooking.com\/cruise-lines\/hurtigruten-norwegian-coastal-express\">Hurtigruten<\/a> expressed his excitement about this unique project, \u201cWe believe in bringing a touch of the Arctic to the world of sparkling wine.
