Both the name and the interior design of this modern expedition vessel are inspired by the magnificent Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).

The art, decorations and colors of this ship are all inspired by the Northern Lights. Subtle aesthetics create a distinctive and unique onboard atmosphere. Passengers can relax on a comfortable sun lounger in one of the ship's lounges after a long day of Hurtigruten's various tours and activities.

Unique Features

A Hurtigruten vessel is a work vessel that operates regularly according to a fixed schedule. Ships, moving goods, vehicles and passengers between ports day and night, are an integral part of Norwegian° daily life. The ship calls at the port 24 hours a day. Some cabins may experience noise and vibration when loading luggage. This depends on the location of the cabin and the type of ship. Also, the effects of noise vary from person to person, and what is an issue for one person may not be an issue for another. Please contact our reservations team to find out which cabin location is best for you.

Gratuities

It is not customary to tip Hurtigruten ships on coastal voyages. However, tip boxes are placed inside the restaurant with envelopes if it is felt that flight attendants should be rewarded for outstanding service.
