Captivating scenery

Named after the spectacular Northern Lights, MS Nordlys is a modern expedition ship whose interior reflects the splendour of the enchanting Aurora Borealis.

The Ship

MS Nordlys is beautifully appointed with light, delicate décor that has been enhanced by Norwegian artists to create a distinct atmosphere on board. The Hurtigruten fleet offers a unique experience, carrying locals to neighbouring ports and towns, alongside passengers looking to enjoy a relaxed and scenic voyage. As an expedition ship, she comes fully equipped with panorama lounge, sun deck, explorer deck, and her own expedition team.

Expedition Team

MS Nordlys has her own on-board Expedition Team that serves as a university at sea. Interesting lectures inside as well as out on the sun deck of the ship make this an exciting and educational journey. Topics depend on the season and the waters Hurtigruten sail in. The Expedition Team will host a lecture programme and evening gatherings daily. Out on deck you may participate in live points of interest to learn more about the nature, culture and other phenomena Hurtigruten encounter along the coast. In addition, the Expedition Team will introduce you to the uniquely Norwegian notion of `friluftsliv´, and encourage you take part in `friluftsliv´ hikes and activities during the journey.

Cuisine and Dining

Experience delicious authentic Norwegian cuisine and eat like a true local with Hurtigruten’s unique dining concept, Norway's Coastal Kitchen. Guaranteeing seasonal, fresh food from the local area, the talented chefs enjoy telling the story of the local area through their delicious dishes. Three daily meals are included for full one-way and roundtrip passengers. Breakfast and lunch are catered for with an extensive buffet, while three-course dining is on offer for evening meals.

Activities

The ever-changing Norwegian landscape is the special appeal on board MS Nordlys. Midnight sun chasers and those hoping to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights can enjoy the wonderful views from the sun deck at the top of the ship. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the lounge offer a panorama of the consistently breath-taking scenery that rolls out before the ship. Guests are treated to an Arctic crossing ceremony and mythical stories from the fjords by a passionate crew. Broaden your horizons with interesting lectures inside the ship as well as out on the sun deck, with topics tailored to the waters and the seasons. Memorable and exciting excursions are on offer at each port.
