Ships

MS Kong Harald was refurbished in 2016 and now features a modern, Arctic-inspired interior. Onboard are three restaurants, the Multe bakery and ice cream bar, a sauna, and a fitness room. On deck are two hot tubs. The vessel also has the Expedition Team, conference room and shop.


MS Nordkapp has an onboard Expedition Team who hosts interesting lectures, presentations, and activities inside and out on the sun deck of the ship. On deck you may participate in live points of interest to learn more about the nature, culture, and other phenomena we encounter along the coast.


The art, décor, and colors applied aboard this ship are all inspired by the Northern Lights. MS Nordlys is a comfortable ship. Passengers are invited to kick back after a long day experiencing one of Hurtigruten's many excursions and activities in comfy recliners in the ship’s lounges.


MS Nordnorge has an onboard Expedition Team who hosts interesting lectures, presentations, and activities inside and out on the sun deck of the ship. On deck you may participate in live points of interest to learn more about the nature, culture, and other phenomena we encounter along the coast.


MS Otto Sverdrup is named after the great Norwegian polar hero. He was a key member of polar expeditions and was the captain of the legendary Arctic ship ‘Fram’. Otto Sverdrup was captain on the first Hurtigruten ship MS Lofoten, which sailed from to Norway to Svalbard.


MS Polarlys has an onboard Expedition Team who hosts interesting lectures, presentations, and activities inside and out on the sun deck of the ship. On deck you may participate in live points of interest to learn more about the nature, culture, and other phenomena we encounter along the coast.


When Captain Richard With established the Norwegian Coastal Express in 1893, he made an enormous impact on life along the Norwegian coastline. Relax in one of the ship's panorama lounges and take in unforgettable views of remarkable coastal scenery.


This ship is named after spectacular Trollfjord in the Lofoten Islands, and provides exquisite indoor comfort, modern facilities, and interior design that makes extensive use of Norwegian wood and stone. Its wall-to-wall windows bathe the lounge in natural light and provide extraordinary views.

Hurtigruten 12-day cruise - Norway

By: happytraveler


Reviewed on: 16 Dec 2017

Too short! Although it was a 12-day trip, the time flew by. The panoramic lounge makes viewing the fjords an experience you will never forget! The staff are exceptional. They are only too happy to do anything to help you, including helping you put spikes on your shoes so you can walk on icy streets! They offer wonderful lectures that increase your knowledge of the country that you are seeing.

Loved every minute

I very much enjoyed the return trip from Bergen to Kirkenes. Unfortunately the ship broke down 2 days into the return trip, but Hurtigruten handled the transfers back to Bergen very efficiently in my case. The No Supplement ticket for me as a solo traveller made the cruise affordable. The ship was comfortable and well catered with a range of pleasant dining options. The wide range of available excursions was excellent. The staff were all friendly and efficient.

Kong Harald. Ship was nicely appointed, clean and well maintained. Beds and pillows very comfortable. Food was excellent. Staff was very friendly and eager to please. Only negative for us was related to sleep; since it is a working ship, we sailed overnight. When ship came into port it was quite loud-?engine noise-(even on cabin on Deck 6) and fair amount of vibration, which interrupted our sleep.
