The MS Nordkapp is named after one of the highlights of the Hurtigruten voy age, the northernmost point of mainland Europe, the North Cape. Being an expedition ship she comes fully equipped with her own expedition team. The stylish, Scandina vian interior provides an ideal setting for exploring the coast. The ship was built in 1996 and features art-works from the renowned Norwegian artist, Karl Erik Harr.

Often referred to as “The World’s most beautiful voyage”, this incredible scenic experience from Bergen to Kirkenes along the rugged coast of Norway is like no other. The Hurtigruten translates to “the fast route” and has been operating since 1893.
