Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- UHY Hacker Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. All ships have returned to operational service following the disruption caused by the pandemic, and, combined with forward bookings together with available group liquidity has resulted in the directors being satisfied that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2021, the former Hurtigruten Group announced the creation of two separate business units: Hurtigruten and HX. This marked the beginning of the Group's division, and 2024 signifies the completion of this process, highlighted by several key milestones. The legal separation process advanced on October 1, 2024, when HX transitioned to its own systems. The culmination of this separation occurred on November 28, 2024, when the legal and capital structures of HX and Hurtigruten were finalised, and both entities were sold to new owners. The closing of the sale occurred on February 12, 2025.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
