Nordnorge

Small Cruise Ship (Boutique)
Operated by Hurtigruten

 

MS Nordnorge was designed for service cruising Norway's narrow fjords and sometimes icy polar waters. Its shallow draft, powerful bow and stern thrusters make it extremely well suited for navigating Antarctic water. Her interior features Art Nouveau and Art Deco influences and artwork by well-known Norwegian artists. The cabins are stylish and comfortable with two lower berths, private bathrooms and hair dryers. Each is fitted with air conditioning, heating, and a smoke alarm. There are a variety of suites and junior suites with queen-size beds and TV. She features a comfortable restaurant, two well-stocked bars, panoramic lounges, an Internet café and conference rooms. She also features a library with a selection of books about the polar regions, a fitness room, a sauna, two heated outdoor Jacuzzis, a gift shop purveying souvenirs, postcards, stamps and other personal effects.
