MS Trollfjord destinations
MS Trollfjord sets sail on two extraordinary seasonal voyages that showcase the very best of Norway’s dramatic landscapes and Arctic beauty: the Svalbard Line and the North Cape Line. In summer, the Svalbard Line takes you beyond the mainland, journeying from Bergen to the remote and captivating archipelago of Svalbard. Along the way, you’ll call at scenic gems like Ålesund, Tromsø, and Longyearbyen, with breathtaking encounters including glacier-fringed fjords and endless daylight under the Midnight Sun. In winter, the North Cape Line offers a magical voyage from Bergen to Honningsvåg, gateway to the North Cape plateau. This route highlights iconic ports such as Trondheim, Tromsø and Alta, as well as lesser-visited communities that reveal the quiet wonder of coastal life in the colder months. Whether you're chasing the Northern Lights or soaking up summer’s golden glow, MS Trollfjord’s voyages promise unforgettable moments at every turn.
“I had the privilege of sailing aboard Hurtigruten’s MS Trollfjord, the flagship of their Signature voyages, on The Svalbard Line along Norway’s stunning coast. Renovated in 2024, the ship blends modern comfort with the charm of a classic coastal ship. A variety of shore excursions were available, but kayaking in Reine, Lofoten Islands, was an unforgettable highlight. After a day of exploring, nothing beat relaxing in the top-deck panoramic sauna or sharing drinks with fellow travellers in the two-storey 1893 Bar. A stand out experience onboard MS Trollfjord was Norway’s Coastal Kitchen cuisine across three exceptional restaurants, with Røst the arctic fine dining restaurant being my personal favourite. The Signature Experience offers an enhanced program of onboard activities, including an in-depth lecture series. With insights from the knowledgeable Norwegian crew, it felt like the best way to experience Norway—directly through the eyes of the Norwegians themselves.” – Shelby Hill, ROL Cruise
