Cabins and suites

Hurtigruten offers four cabin and suite categories, from simple and comfortable rooms to more spacious premium options.

• Polar Inside: No-frills, window-free cabins. A good-value choice if you plan to spend most of your time exploring the ship and the coast.

• Polar Outside: Comfortable cabins with a window or porthole, offering natural light and views of the coast.

• Arctic Superior: Well-located cabins with additional comforts such as tea and coffee facilities.

• Expedition Suites: The most spacious and premium options on board, often with larger windows or balconies, separate lounge areas and extra perks like welcome gifts or onboard credit.

Cabin sizes, layouts and features can vary by ship. You can see exact details for your voyage during booking or on our ship pages. Learn more about our cabins and suites here.

All cabins include a range of essentials to make your stay comfortable, such as:

• A private en-suite bathroom with shower, toilet, sink, towels and soap

• Complimentary Wi-Fi access (not available for unspecified cabins or port-to-port guests)

• TV (with a few exceptions on MS Polarlys & MS Vesterålen)

Most cabins also include things like a hairdryer and toiletries such as shampoo and shower gel, but please check the FAQs on our individual ship pages for more information.

All cabins have windows except our Polar Inside cabins, which are a great option if you’re looking for a more affordable stay. Some Polar Outside or Arctic Superior cabins have windows with an obstructed or partially obstructed view.

Use the cabin comparison tool during the booking process to find out exactly which ones.

Tea and coffee-making facilities are available in all Arctic Superior cabins and Suites.

For other cabin types, these facilities are not included in the room. However, if you have booked a Select fare, a Tea and Coffee package is included and available in our bars and restaurants.

Not sure if your fare includes it? You can check your invoice for full details.

Bathrobes are provided on all ships, but only in our Suites. If you are staying in another cabin category, bathrobes are not available to rent or request, even for an additional cost.

You’ll find European 220V two-pin sockets in your cabin – perfect for charging your devices. (Adapters may be required for non-European plugs). Some ships also have USB charging points.

All cabins have built-in storage, including hanging space, shelves and drawers. Storage varies by cabin type, but there’s plenty of room for your essentials, and suitcases can be stowed under the bed.

Yes, your cabin will be cleaner daily between 08:00–15:00. Place the “Do Not Disturb” sign on your door if you prefer privacy.

Want to do more? Hang the 'Green Stay' tag outside your cabin before 02:00 to skip a cleaning day. For every green night, we donate to the Hurtigruten Foundation, helping protect our oceans and environment.
