About MS Nordkapp
MS Nordkapp is a compact Hurtigruten coastal ship built in 1996 for voyages along Norway’s fjord-lined coastline. The 11,386-gross-ton vessel accommodates up to 590 guests in 209 cabins and was most recently upgraded through refurbishment and environmental work listed by Hurtigruten as 2016/2022. Its intimate scale, panoramic viewing spaces, expedition team, local-food dining and practical coastal-ship facilities make it better suited to destination-focused travel than resort-style cruising.
