About MS Nordlys
Built in 1994 and refurbished in 2019, the MS Nordlys is a captivating vessel that boasts a gross tonnage of 11,204. With 200 cabins and a passenger capacity of 590, this ship offers an intimate and comfortable setting for those seeking a unique cruise experience. The refurbishment in May 2019 brought about a revitalized and modernized ambiance, ensuring that every passenger enjoys the utmost comfort and style during their voyage. What sets the MS Nordlys apart is its distinctive design inspired by the enchanting northern lights. The art, décor, and color palette aboard the ship all pay homage to this natural phenomenon, creating a truly unique and visually stunning atmosphere.
Embark on an immersive coastal experience with our dedicated Coastal Experience Team, poised to enrich your journey both on board and on land along the Norwegian coast. Boasting unparalleled knowledge of the areas we sail, the team, committed to the Norwegian coast, delivers in-depth lectures on topics ranging from the Northern Lights and Midnight Sun to local history and wildlife. These engaging presentations take place on board, on deck, and ashore, offering an intimate and personal perspective to your voyage. Delve into the heart of the outdoors, as the Coastal Experience Team invites you to participate in handpicked hikes and activities that illuminate the local region's history, geology, and culture. For families, our Young Explorers program, designed for children aged 6-13, offers a summer filled with activities on and off the ship, fostering curiosity and a sense of adventure.
Enjoy a culinary odyssey aboard the MS Nordlys, where each restaurant offers a distinctive dining experience united by our Norway's Coastal Kitchen concept, celebrating local ingredients from nearby suppliers. Torget, our main restaurant, serves as the focal point, presenting a varied selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes with a focus on coastal flavors. In the elegant Kysten à la carte restaurant, indulge in exquisite creations by skilled chefs, highlighting the finest ingredients from the Norwegian coast. Brygga, our onboard bistro, provides a bustling wharf-like atmosphere, offering quick and tasty dishes, including the signature shrimp sandwich—a true Norwegian classic. Follow the tempting aroma to Multe, the aromatic bakery, where open sandwiches, smoothies, coffees, and ice cream from Lofoten are complemented by the unique flavors of the cloudberry, served with waffles, whipped cream, or ice cream, embodying the rich culinary traditions of Norway.
