The Hurtigruten Ship Fleet
Hurtigruten has 12 ships operating the Norway coastal voyages and 2 expedition ships. Varying in size, they each have their own unique character, but all are informal and have a relaxed atmosphere and excellent service on board.
Norwegian Coast Ships
MS Midnatsol, MS Trollfjord, MS Finnmarken
These modern ships joined the fleet in 2002 and 2003. Each ship has the lastest in cabin comfort, on-board facilities, 2 jacuzzis and spacious panorama lounges to enjoy the ever-changing scenery.
MS Nordkapp, MS Nordnorge, MS Polarlys, MS Nordlys, MS Richard With, MS Kong Harald
Built between 1993 and 1997 these ships combine small ship atmosphere with space, style and comfort. Each has its own design and features works of art by Norwegian artists.
MS Versteralen
Built in 1983 this ship is smaller and more intimate than the newer ships and is favoured by travellers who enjoy a traditional ‘working ship’ experience.
MS Lofoten, MS Nordstjernen
These small and elegant traditional ships are steeped in heritage and character and are firm favourites for many of our repeat travellers.
Expedition Ships
MS Fram
A new ship for 2007, MS Fram was built specifically to negotiate the icy waters of the Arctic and Antarctic. With just 318 guests, Fram is ideal for sharing adventures with like-minded travellers. With excellent public space and modern facilities, she provides a luxury cruise holiday environment even in the most remote destinations.
MV Polar Star
This small ship is a converted icebreaker fully converted for expedition cruising in polar waters.
