Frequently Asked Questions

MS Trollfjord sails The North Cape Line from Oslo. On board you’ll find three restaurants, a bar and panoramic lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as a sauna and fitness room. Cabins range from cosy interiors to premium suites.

Life on board is relaxed and informal, with plenty of quiet corners to relax in, enjoy the view and share the journey with fellow travellers.

You'll spend most of the day in Tromsø, Åndalsnes, Alta and Bergen, and a full day in Honningsvåg gives you plenty of time to visit the North Cape on an excursion. Enjoy shorter stays in places like Stavanger, Svolvær (Lofoten Islands) and Ålesund.
