Speaking of the ceremony itself, Hurtigruten Managing Director Kathryn Beadle said “The Globes is one of the most prestigious events in the Travel industry calendar. Hurtigruten are once again absolutely delighted to have won, especially as we are celebrating a bumper start to 2012 thanks to our travel agency partners. This Winter (2011/12) we have sent more customers than ever in search of the mesmerizing Northern Lights which is great news for us and our agency partners given the current financial climate. With NASA predicting that winter 2012/13 will be a record breaking period to also witness this amazing phenomenon we anticipate this success to continue.”
