Life on board MS Trollfjord
From the brand-new décor to the show cooking flavours, everything you experience aboard MS Trollfjord is designed to elevate and enrich your journey.
A magical voyage deserves a magical onboard experience. Whether you’re sailing on The Svalbard Express or The North Cape Express, beneath the Midnight Sun or the Northern Lights, on MS Trollfjord you’ll find everything you need to deepen your enjoyment and understanding of the adventures that lie ahead.
MS Trollfjord, newly refurbished from bow to stern in 2023, reawakens a romantic, golden age of travel. The attention to detail is extraordinary. Look out for the specially styled uniforms worn by crew, thoughtfully designed restaurants, and brand-new areas such as the historic food centre.
With a full and discerning programme of lectures and activities, outstanding facilities, regular voyage recaps and an indulgent farewell dinner, the enhanced cruise ship entertainment means there’s never a dull moment on The Svalbard Express and The North Cape Express.
Day-to-day life on board MS Trollfjord
In between ports, be as active as you choose. Expect show cooking from our chefs, handicraft sessions in the library, and thought-provoking presentations that you can watch in person or livestream to your cabin.
Regular photography workshops reveal tips for shooting the perfect image, from capturing the Northern Lights to zooming in on polar wildlife. When you feel confident, you can hire camera equipment on board and practice what you learnt on your next on-shore excursion.
Daily themes
Each day’s cruise ship entertainment is guided by a daily theme based on the destination ahead.
For example, the theme on The Svalbard Express as you near Tromsø and Senja is Seaweed and the Working Ship. You might sample ‘blue food’, learn about Hurtigruten’s unique cargo story or meet some of our trusted fish suppliers.
On The North Cape Express around Kristiansund and Farsund, you can dive into lectures about Norway’s maritime history as we approach the country’s southernmost cape and its oldest lighthouse.

If you’d rather simply watch the astounding scenery roll by, that’s fine too. Relax in the hot tub and sauna or take a seat with a glass of Hurtigruten’s exclusive aquavit next to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bar.
Your Coastal Experience Team
The four members (plus an enthusiastic trainee) of the onboard Coastal Experience Team play an important role in your cruise entertainment, both on board and on shore. Members have been selected for MS Trollfjord because they’re experienced leaders, experts in their field and they know how to tell a great story.
The Coastal Experience Team is here to help you make the most of the full programme of cruise ship activities, from your morning stretch to movie nights. Between them, team members run the lectures, workshops and onshore activities. Ask them anything about the wildlife, ports, points of interest and heritage you might encounter throughout your voyage. They can help you find and book your perfect excursion, too.

Your culinary experience
On The Svalbard Express and The North Cape Express, your food and drink experience goes well beyond the restaurants. The flavour innovations and producers of the Norwegian coast play an integral role in immersing you in your astounding surroundings.
Cookery classes and tastings are at the heart of the daily programme. Sip Norwegian wine at sommelier-led tastings. Watch live shows about anything from caviar to ice cream. Learn about traditional food preservation techniques. Best of all, your hands-on experience doesn’t just end when you take off your apron. That gravlax you just learned to make might be your appetiser when you sit down to dinner later.
