Signature Fleet · Built 2002
Hurtigruten's first Signature ship, taking its name from a small but spectacular fjord in the Vesterålen archipelago. Timeless, classic interiors in wood and stone, built for the North Cape Line, the Svalbard Line and the new Limited Collection routes.
About The Ship
MS Trollfjord sails the Svalbard Line, the North Cape Line and Hurtigruten's new Limited Collection routes, and stands apart in the fleet for her classic, timeless style. Locally sourced natural materials, wood and stone chief among them, feature throughout the ship's furnishings, echoing the fjords she sails through.
Details and flourishes throughout evoke a golden era of exclusive small-ship sailing, a deliberate nod to Hurtigruten's 130-year heritage on this coast, set alongside all the comforts of a modern, all-inclusive ship. At 500 guests she carries roughly the same number of passengers as the Original fleet's larger ships, but with more space per guest, since every sailing is all-inclusive and there is no port-to-port local trade to accommodate.
In Detail
From the outside, MS Trollfjord carries the same purposeful lines as the rest of the fleet, but built to a larger, more comfortable scale for her longer, all-inclusive voyages. Inside, that scale shows in wide corridors, tall windows, and public rooms designed to be lived in for a fortnight at a time rather than passed through.
Life On Board
Life at sea aboard MS Trollfjord marries modern comforts with an age-old maritime ambience. These are the rooms and spaces that shape a typical day on board, from morning coffee to the last drink of the evening.
Named for the year Hurtigruten's first coastal voyage set sail, the 1893 Bar spans two storeys behind floor-to-ceiling windows, with the panorama lounge above and a more intimate seating area below. It's the natural gathering spot before dinner and after, with a drinks list built around Norwegian spirits and botanicals alongside the usual favourites.
Up on the top deck, the sauna is walled in glass on every side, so the coastline keeps sliding past while you sit back and warm up. The adjoining fitness room shares the same views, with a small range of cardio and weight equipment for anyone keen to keep up a routine mid-voyage.
Set amidships, this is where the Expedition Team give their talks on wildlife, history and the Northern Lights through the voyage, and where Tom Kerss runs his astronomy programme on the dedicated departures. In the evening, the same room often doubles as a cinema, screening films tied to the day's ports of call.
270 cabins in all, including 21 suites, spread across four categories from Polar Inside through to the Expedition Suites, many with private balconies. Every category is finished in the same natural materials as the rest of the ship, and every fare includes full board regardless of which you choose.

Dining On Board
Flora, the main restaurant, serves breakfast and lunch buffets, with dinner as either a buffet or à la carte. Brasserie Árran is the all-day option, for quick, casual dishes such as salads, sandwiches and burgers alongside rustic Norwegian classics. Røst, on deck 8, is the fine-dining restaurant, included for suite guests and available as an upgrade for other cabin categories.
