MS Trollfjord is a small Norwegian coastal ship operated by Hurtigruten, built in 2002 and refurbished in 2023. It carries up to 500 guests in 270 cabins and combines classic maritime styling with modern comforts. The ship is designed around scenic Norwegian sailing, with panoramic public spaces, an expedition team, locally inspired dining, and a compact atmosphere rather than the extensive attractions found on large ocean cruise ships.

Three restaurants are listed by Hurtigruten: Flora, the main restaurant; Brasserie Árran, offering Norwegian cuisine with a contemporary approach; and Røst, an à la carte fine-dining venue. Main meals are included, with Røst included for suite guests and available as an onboard upgrade for other cabin categories.
The two-story panoramic lounge includes the 1893 Bar, while the lecture hall hosts expedition presentations and can operate as a cinema on some evenings. The ship emphasizes talks, scenery, and destination-focused programming rather than large-scale stage shows.
MS Trollfjord has 270 cabins, including 21 suites, with accommodation ranging from compact outside cabins to larger suites. Some cabins sleep up to three guests and may have restricted views; standard amenities include a TV, hairdryer, toiletries, and free Wi-Fi.
The ship offers cabins accommodating up to three guests, including configurations with bunk beds. Hurtigruten’s onboard experience is primarily oriented toward adults and destination-focused travel, with no large dedicated waterpark or children’s-entertainment complex identified on the official ship page.
A panoramic sauna and fitness room are located on the upper deck, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing views of the coast. A nurse is carried onboard, and a doctor is present during the Barents Sea crossing on The Svalbard Line.
Hurtigruten states that the ship has step-free access to key public areas and two wheelchair-accessible toilets. Accessible cabins with automatic doors are available but limited, including cabins 614, 616, 619, and 625.
Hurtigruten presents MS Trollfjord with locally sourced natural materials in its furnishings and a Norwegian coastal food concept emphasizing regional ingredients. The operator also describes broader fleet efforts to reduce food waste, water consumption, and waste generation.
