MS Nordlys
Both the name and the interior design of this modern ship are inspired by the spectacular Northern Lights.
About the ship
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.

MS Trollfjord to temporarily replace MS Nordlys

Restaurants on board
Each of the ship’s restaurants is a different dining experience, but all promise our Norway’s Coastal Kitchen concept of local ingredients from local suppliers.
Torget
Meaning ‘marketplace’ in Norwegian, the main restaurant offers a variety for all three daily meals. For dinner, it provides either a buffet or set menus.
Kysten
Dine in style at ‘The Coast’, our à la carte option. You’ll savour exquisite dishes crafted by our most skilled chefs, using the finest ingredients the Norwegian coast has to offer.
Brygga
The name of this bistro is the Norwegian word for ‘wharf’. It serves salads, pizzas, and other crowd-pleasers with a Nordic twist.
Multe
Meaning ‘cloudberry’ in Norwegian, this bakery serves up freshly baked cakes, pastries, and waffles. Enjoy the latter topped with generous dollops of whipped or ice cream, and some cloudberry jam.
Your home away from home
Your ship comes equipped with a full suite of facilities to maintain an active lifestyle.
Sauna and fitness room
Work up a sweat in either our well-equipped gym or cosy sauna, both of which offer nice views.
Explorer Lounge & Bar
Enjoy a hand-crafted cocktail and sweeping panoramic views of the Norwegian coast in our bar on Deck 7.
Large outdoor sun deck
Enjoy our large outdoor sun deck waiting for the Northern Lights to appear.
