Trollfjord

Trollfjord

MS Trollfjord features modern comfort and facilities throughout. The ship hosts its own expedition team who present interesting∘ lectures both inside and out on deck. Have fun learning about the nature, wildlife, culture and history you see along the way. Topics depend on the season and where we sail in. MS Trollfjord's large, two-storey panorama lounge above the bow features wall-to-wall glass, allowing in lots of natural light and providing∘ extraordinary views of the passing scenery. The ship's sun deck and Jacuzzi are found on Deck 9. MS Trollfjord also exhibits original paintings that∘ were once aboard the old Hurtigruten ship, MS Harald Jarl. 

Hurtigruten continues to move boundaries for green technology: Through giant makeovers, three Hurtigruten vessels will be transformed to premium, hybrid powered expedition cruise ships.

With these new expedition cruise vessels∘, you will be able to explore Norway like never before, with all the comforts, facilities and expertise you need for creating a perfect adventure. Combined with groundbreaking green technology, these ships will truly stand out, Hurtigruten CEO Daniel Skjeldam says.

As they are transformed into full-fledged premium expedition cruise ships, the current MS Trollfjord will be renamed MS Maud in 2021.

Dining

Brasserie Árran

Brasserie Árran is our way of showing our respect and gratitude to the Sámi people and everything they have done for Norway. Árran is a northern Sámi word for the fire at the heart of a lavvo (a temporary dwelling used by the Sámi people for thousands of years). It’s a place for people to gather and share stories, which is exactly what we hope you’ll do in Brasserie Árran. The restaurant decor’s use of dark wood, leather and rough-hewn stone creates a warm and rustic feel that reflects the hearty food on the menu.

Here, you can dine on traditional dishes with a modern twist such as bidos (a Sámi reindeer stew), souvas (sliced smoked reindeer meat) with lingonberry aioli, or pickled herring on rye bread with cured egg yolk.

When can I dine in Árran? Árran is open for lunch and dinner. Seating is open, so no reservations are required.

Flora Restaurant

MS Trollfjord’s main restaurant, Flora, is inspired by Norway’s edible herbs, berries, mushrooms, flowers, fruit and vegetables. This incredible treasury of produce influences every part of your dining experience here, from the herb-infused mayonnaises to the petals and scrolls of the distinctly Norwegian Rosemaling folk art design that unfurls across the restaurant’s decor.

Depending on what’s in season, you could try dishes such as lightly smoked Arctic char, plant-based Wellington with sugar kelp confit Trøndersopp from our own kelp farm, or flavoursome wild game enriched by time spent grazing on berries, herbs and flowers.

When can I dine in Flora? Come here for self-service breakfast buffets and pre-seated a la carte lunches and dinners. Flora is also the venue for the gala dinner towards the end of your voyage.

Røst - Arctic Fine Dining

Inspired by the ancient fish bank of Røst in the Lofoten Islands, our fine dining restaurant is a homage to the produce that helped established Norway: fish. Røst’s menu is based on the flora and fauna that flourishes beneath the ship and along the coast.

Alongside the stockfish that Norway’s economy – and heritage – was built on, your dishes could include salmon or reindeer as well as more unexpected ingredients such as seaweed, kelp, Arctic pearls (a vegan roe) and sea urchins. Our resident sommeliers are on hand to help pair each dish with the perfect wine.

This attention to detail extends to the restaurant’s decor. Modern art, gold accents and an open kitchen perfectly complement the refined Scandinavian design, which draws on the undulating lines of a salmon.

When can I dine in Røst? Suite guests can choose to dine in Røst for all meals, including a daily, Norwegian-inspired afternoon tea complete with delectable macarons, scones, cakes, and sandwiches, washed down with a glass of sparkling wine. For dinner, Suite guests must make a reservation directly at the restaurant.

Cabin guests can also upgrade to dine at Røst through the app, directly at the restaurant or through the Restaurant Manager.

Entertainment

1893 Bar

Settle down in a comfortable chair behind the huge windows on the two-storey observation deck and take your pick of drinks laced with the flavours and remarkable stories of the Norwegian coast. We offer a wide selection of international and local Norwegian beverage.

In 1893 Bar, every mouthful tells a story of the Norwegian coast floating by outside. Our mixologists blend the best Norwegian products, creating cocktails that bring you closer to the legends, people, and places you’re sailing past.

Try cocktails handcrafted with Arctic gin from the Lyngen Alps, liquor infused with the rays of the Midnight Sun, or vodka brightened by the golden taste of cloudberries. Signature cocktails are made purely from Norwegian spirits and inspired by Viking tales of Valhalla, the long days of a Norwegian summer, or 1,000 years of apple cultivation on the steep slopes of the Hardangerfjord, ‘the orchard of Norway’. Ask your bartender for more stories to savour as you sip.

Every day between 15.30 and 16.30, we lay on a mini buffet of fresh fruit and cake, too.

Please note: Opening hours may vary due to weather, ports, and activities. Guests can find updated opening hours on the daily programme onboard.

Kids & Teen

Young Explorers

Good news, parents! If your child is aged 6-13, they can join our complimentary Young Explorers activity programme on board our ships (except MS Vesterålen) during July and August.

We warmly invite families with young children to come and experience the Norwegian coast together with us. Through a range of activities on and off the ship, our team will feed your children’s curiosity and nurture their sense of adventure. It’ll be a family holiday full of fun memories that they and you will cherish for years to come.

Please note: the Young Explorers programme is available only on our 12-day Classic Roundtrip Voyage. 

Forming friendships

The programme has been designed to be interactive and engaging for young minds. Art workshops, creative challenges, competitive games, and quick-fire quizzes add to a stimulating pace that grabs their attention.

The tasks and activities also naturally lend themselves to team building and bonding. The children therefore often make new friends, playing together outside the programme, beginning friendships that could last a lifetime. 

Minds of the future

Below are some examples of topics your children might learn about as part of the Young Explorers programme.

Each is taught in a way that will activate your child’s imagination and increase their awareness of the world they’ll eventually inherit from us.
