About MS Nordnorge
MS Nordnorge is a compact Norwegian coastal ship designed for scenic, year-round voyages along Norway’s coastline. Renovated in 2016 and 2022, it combines an Arctic-inspired interior with broad observation areas, a panoramic lounge, expedition lectures and a relaxed onboard atmosphere. The ship carries up to 452 guests in 211 cabins, making it notably smaller and more intimate than a conventional large cruise ship. Its coastal-ship design also supports local transport and cargo alongside passenger travel.
