自两年前开始职业生涯以来,美国赫特格鲁滕的新总统威廉·哈伯(William Harber)住在亚特兰大,迈阿密,新加坡和香港。
Initially, Harber, who started in the cruise industry as a member of Carnival Corp.’s Shared Services team a decade and a half ago, sought a job in Asia to fulfill a dream that both he and his wife had, to live abroad.
Now, after stints as senior vice president and managing director for Norwegian Cruise Line in Asia and president of Hurtigruten for China and Asia-Pacific, Harber is returning to the U.S. to take on a brand-new challenge.

他告诉TMR:“我搬到了Hurtigruten,我想到了下一步是亚洲的发展以及一般旅游业的下一步。”
他说:“我不想将Hurtigruten视为利基球员,我想与已经建立的所有其他主要邮轮队并肩作战。”
基于关系的部门
总的来说,Harber在他的职业生涯中曾在14个不同的巡游品牌中工作,尽管市场之间以及线条之间存在差异,但该行业确实在业务完成的方式上至少有一个很强的共同点。
“The cruise industry, in the U.S. and Asia, is a relationship-based industry and that’s heightened when you do business overseas,” Harber said.
目前,Harber将寻求建立Hurtigruten与美国和加拿大贸易之间的关系。他说:“在这个阶段,我想与我想与我尊重和欣赏的公司合作,并希望团队中的人们也这样做。”
为此,哈伯说,他将确保Hurtigruten将合作伙伴的兴趣与自己的交易相关。
Harber also wants to stress that Hurtigruten is a cruise line about the destination more than the hardware.
旅行经历首先
他说:“对我们来说,我们确实要能够体验并带回伟大的故事。”“我们的船只,当我们谈论它们时,我们将它们视为探索旅行的大本营。我们将经验放在过多的奢侈上,这确实是这些客户的忠实。”
Aside from being a major line for Norway sailings, Hurtigruten, which will celebrate its 125Th2018年周年纪念日在北极和南极拥有最大的市场份额。典型的Hurtigruten旅行者是想要去其他人去过的人,并且想体验自然和野生动植物的人。
该品牌还致力于保存“明天的客人”哲学的哲学 - 所有赫蒂格伦船上的船只都在其餐厅和最新的船上使用本地采购和可持续的食材,这将是世界上第一艘混合电池巡游。
New offerings
Hurtigruten的最大新闻是其两艘新船Roald和Amundsen女士和Amundsen,这些船将于2018年和2019年首次亮相。该公司将这些船推销为“世界上最绿色,最安全,最先进的探险船”。
Staying true to the line’s expedition history, both ships will offer a two-level indoor/outdoor Observation Deck that wraps around the top of the ships' raked bows. Behind the decks will be the Amundsen Science Centre/Nansen Science Centre, the “core of the onboard experience,” according to the line.
The Centre will feature touch screens and science equipment, along with lecture spaces; a small library; and areas for guests to take workshops in photography, biology, and more.
在2019-2020赛季中,Hurtigruten还在Fridjof Nansen MS上提供了首次南极航行。这将使从南美运行的Hurtigruten船只总数达到三艘,提供了11到21天的航行。
