Abstract

This paper reports research on a service development study carried out on the prestigious Norwegian Coastal Voyage (NCV), also known as the Hurtigruten, which is the brand name. The primary research instrument employed in the research was in-depth interviews with service managers and service personnel employed on the Hurtigruten. This paper reports on findings on influencing factors to service development and suggests how the identified factors influence service development on the Hurtigruten. A model is suggested that depicts these factors, which are grouped into company internal, company external and system factors. The study advances the knowledge field of service development particularly relevant for a high-contact service such as a cruise operation. © 2013 International University College.
