Hurtigruten MS Finnmarken

MS Finnmarken blends rich Hurtigruten heritage with contemporary Norwegian design, making it a superb choice for cruising Norway’s dramatic coastline. Formerly known as MS Otto Sverdrup, this hybrid-powered ship reclaims its historic name following a 2025 upgrade and features a stylish interior refit with natural materials like granite, oak, and birch for a relaxed, premium feel on board.

You’ll find an experienced expedition team on hand throughout your journey, each member passionate about Norwegian culture, history, and nature. They’re ready to guide seasonal hikes, lead fascinating lectures, and bring your adventure to life—on board, on deck, and ashore. When it’s time to dine, head to Flora, the main restaurant, where buffets and à la carte menus highlight fresh, local ingredients from Norway’s forests and fjords.

Guests can unwind in the sauna and wellness area, enjoy the heated outdoor pool and hot tubs, or admire the views from multiple observation decks. With battery packs and shore power connectivity, MS Finnmarken offers a more sustainable way to explore.
