Nordlys
MS Nordlys, named after the ethereal Northern Lights, embodies the magic of Norway’s Arctic skies with its vibrant, aurora-inspired art, décor, and colors, refreshed during renovations in 2019 and 2024. Accommodating 505 guests in cabins (590 including deck space), this modern Hurtigruten ship offers a cozy yet stylish ambiance with panoramic lounges, a large outdoor sun deck, and two hot tubs perfect for soaking in the breathtaking coastal scenery. Guests can unwind in comfy reclining chairs, stay active in the fitness room, or relax in the sauna, all while enjoying free Wi-Fi and a welcoming compass area with reception, shop, and Expedition Team facilities.
The art, décor and colours employed aboard this ship are all inspired by the Northern Lights.
The delicate aesthetic creates a distinct and unique on-board ambience. Relax after a long day experiencing various excursions and activities in comfy reclining chairs in the one of the ship’s lounges.
The onboard experience is enriched by the Expedition Team, who share their expertise on Norway’s culture, nature, and history through engaging lectures and guided hikes. Dining aboard MS Nordlys celebrates Hurtigruten’s Norway’s Coastal Kitchen, featuring locally sourced ingredients across three distinct venues: Torget, the main restaurant with buffet and set-menu options; Kysten, offering exquisite à la carte dining; and Brygga, a casual bistro serving Nordic-inspired dishes. The Multe bakery delights with fresh pastries and cloudberry-topped waffles.
