Activities

The ever-changing landscape is the special appeal of this ship. Relax in the two-story Panorama Lounge, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, offering endlessly breath-taking views of the unfolding scenery. At the top of the vessel, the sun deck allows passengers to soak in the bright sun while watching a gentle parade of beautiful landscapes. At night, guests will want to keep an eye out for shooting stars or the emerald-streaked display of the northern lights. The ships amphitheatre hosts outstanding lectures by experts, covering fascinating topics from the northern lights to Norwegian Christmas traditions. When crossing the Arctic Circle, crew regularly treat guests to a special ceremony and even dress up and recount mythical stories of the current location. One of the delights of cruising aboard the MS Midnatsol is that you are rarely out of sight of land and there are many opportunities to stop and explore.
