Summer season is back! Today MS Nordkapp had it’s first sailing to Geiranger for this year. And how lucky we were to meet the beautiful seven sisters again 😍

We owe you some footage of our latest Arctic Circle Crossing. A nice exercise is to hopp over the Arctic Circle. We believe it avoids taking the bad weather with you wherever you are heading to. Have you tried it?

31/05/2024

Look who we met today in Honningsvåg! It was a pleasure to meet you MS Otto Sverdrup! Did you know that some of our sister ships also sail routes along the coast starting from Hamburg or even sailing further to Svalbard?

29/05/2024

Leaving Svolvær and sailing towards the Raftsund with the sun hiding behind the mountains. Guess which highlight we will go to visit next?!

28/05/2024

Leaving Rørvik and Trøndelag behind - good night sunshine. From tomorrow on we will sail North of the Arctic Circle experiencing the eternal sunshine of the Midnight Sun. 🌅

27/05/2024

24/05/2024

Helgeland was beautiful with the sunshine today. In Brønnøysund we visited Torghatten, the famous mountain with the hole. Don’t you think the view is breathtaking?

23/05/2024

Starting the day with welcoming back out excursion busses in Sortland. Very windy, but that makes the flag waving even more fun!

22/05/2024

Today the sun is shining all day for us. After two days in the Barents Sea with waves and even snow, we enjoy calmer sea and even a glimpse of the midnight on our way to Tromsø on the southbound voyage. Have you experienced the midnight sun?

21/05/2024

After sunny days south of the Arctic Circle, we were surprised by wind, rain and even snow on our trip further up north. Luckily, the snow clouds gave us a break once in a while so that we can share the beautiful view over Honningsvåg with you. Do you like the view?

18/05/2024

Thank you for having us Bessaker! On our national day we payed a visit to the small community of Bessaker and tried to get as close as possible to the pier where many of the 169 inhabitants were waiting for us to wave flags. Bessaker, you are wonderful 😍

18/05/2024

Yesterday, we celebrated the Norwegian national day and Norway’s constitution. After the flag hoisting, we had our own tiny parade with the captain and guests outside on deck. Have you been onboard celebrating the 17th of may?

16/05/2024

Today we visited one of the most beautiful towns in Norway: Ålesund - it is very famous for the Art Nouveau architecture and the beautiful views from the different mountain tops. What did you like most about Ålesund?

23/04/2024

And that’s how we start a new voyage: With a fresh breeze outside on deck in the sunshine, enjoying the Sail Away from Bergen. Who would not like to join us for this?

22/04/2024

Svolvær was lovely the other day with sunshine, calm sea and sounds of seabirds. We can feel that spring is coming to the North. Are you ready for the spring season with us?

12/04/2024

One of the big highlights during our previous voyage: the reopening of the Svartsundet for the Hurtigruten. MS Nordkapp was the first ship since 2007 sailing this breathtaking “shortcut” on the southbound sailing to reach the mouth of the Trollfjord (with excemption MS Lofoten)

Another highlight: the Sea Eagle Safari where over 70 sea eagles were observed and which even made a detour into the Trollfjord.
Won’t believe us? Then come and join us on one of our sailings.

After 9 days in the drydocks and a lot of effort by the crew, especially the engine departement, and external workers MS Nordkapp left Kristiansand during the night. Now it is all hands on to get the ship ready to welcome our new guests onboard this afternoon. Right now MS Nordkapp passes Haugesund and will arrive at Bergen at 3:30 pm approximately. We are ready for a new trip on the BKB route - are you too?

03/03/2024

A lot of work is being done in all the departments simultaneously - maintenance in the engine room, changing of carpets in most of the public area and an overhaul of the galley. In the drydocks we can see MS Nordkapps full beauty❤️

01/03/2024

Hello Kristiansand! 👋 Yesterday, MS Nordkapp arrived at Kristiansand to go into the dry dock. It was a very windy sailing to get here and the upcoming days will be very busy to get the ship ready.

Wonderful sunset atmosphere in Brønnøysund two days ago - soon the days are getting bright enough for our sailings to see the hole in Mount Torghatten. 🤩

24/02/2024

A couple of days ago we had lovely weather during our visit to Honningsvåg meeting MS Trollfjord. Many of our guests also had the possibility to visit the North Cape. Have you been to the North Cape?

25/01/2024

It is not that often we get to visit Øksfjord. But due to strong wind in Hammerfest, we were happy to dock earlier in Øksfjord where we could go for a windy afternoon stroll.

21/01/2024

Baby it’s cold outside! Today MS Nordkapp had to break her way through the ice when sailing towards Kirkenes with -22 degrees. What was the coldest temperature you experienced on your trip with us?

11/01/2024

The polar nights in the north always have some beautiful colors ready for us like today in Hammerfest. After some swell during the last night a slight pink in the sky brightened up our day. Have you experienced polar nights on board on MS Nordkapp?

Frohe Weihnachten und ein gutes neues Jahr!

While waiting for the clouds to disappear and the Northern Lights to show up, our guests made the best out of all the snowfall today and built a snowman outside on deck. Doesn’t he look lovely? ☃️❄️
