MS Trollfjord will be replacing MS Nordlys

Throughout the year, MS Trollfjord typically operates as the flagship ship for The Svalbard Express and The North Cape Express, offering a distinct itinerary, culinary experience, and onboard program that is different from the Norwegian Coastal Express experience offered on MS Nordlys. However, when MS Trollfjord temporarily replaces MS Nordlys during this period, the scheduled ports of call, culinary offerings, and onboard activities will be the same as the Norwegian Coastal Express experience you were anticipating on MS Nordlys.
