MS Nordnorge
MS Nordnorge is aptly named for northern Norway, most of which lies above the Arctic Circle.
About the ship
Renovated in 2016, MS Nordnorge has a modern, Arctic-inspired interior.
On board are three different restaurants, the Multe bakery and ice-cream bar, a sauna and a fitness room. Out on deck you can enjoy the view from one of our two hot tubs. We have a comfortable bar at the front of the ship where you can enjoy a nice traditional drink. The vessel also has a large compass area where you find the reception, a tour guide, conference room and shop.
The ship was featured in a TV show in 2011 when its voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes was broadcast live for 134 hours, non-stop. The show entered the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s longest uninterrupted live television documentary.

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. Torget offers multiple dinner seatings between 6pm and 8:30pm. Please note: beverages are not included.
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. Kysten is typically open for dinner from 6pm to 9pm, though hours may vary.
Brygga
The name of this bistro is the Norwegian word for ‘wharf’. It serves salads, pizzas, and other crowd-pleasers with a Nordic twist. Brygga is generally open for lunch and snacks from 12pm to 9:30pm for an extra charge (subject to change).
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.
