MS Otto Sverdrup is an advanced, more sustainable vessel. She is due to get battery packs installed between 2020 and 2022, that will support the ship's engines and drastically cut emissions. The ship also has the ability to access shore power when docked, cutting shoreside emissions. And the vessel�s engines are upgraded to low-emission motors, complying with all known and upcoming regulations.

Welcome onboard to a culinary journey and our award-winning food sourcing program - Norways coastal Kitchen. You will find ingredients from our local suppliers along the coast in all three restaurants. Restaurant Aune - our main dining room; Fredheim - with casual fast food and plant based alternatives; and our fine dining restaurant Lindstrom, named after Polar Hero and Amundsen Chef Adolf Lindstrom. Take a deep breath, relax and enjoy.

Enjoy a lecture on the ship's deck or conference rooms and learn something new. You will be joined on the Norwegian coast by expert Expedition Teams, all hand-picked due to their knowledge and experience. They will give lectures and lead activities all designed to enhance your knowledge and understanding of the areas you're sailing in. Learn about the history, cultures and wildlife.

An explorer voyage with Hurtigruten is rigged towards maximizing your experiences of the places we are going to. On days when we are not landing we encourage you to spend as much time as possible out on deck. Join our educational talks and lectures at different locations on board.

A travel experience is often much richer if you have knowledge and understanding about the nature, wildlife, culture and history of your destination.

Our Expedition team will make sure you are well prepared for the experiences ahead of you. They will also re-capitulate and answer questions in hindsight. You will not find bingo, arcade games and entertainment theatres often found on conventional cruise ships.

Our aim is to get you closer to unique environments and to allow you to share the experience with your fellow travellers. Occasionally there may be some light entertainment on board in the evenings.

Keep yourself feeling fresh and active in the Fitness Room or sweating away the day in the sauna.

MS Finnmarken is also the only Hurtigruten ship with both a swimming pool and hot tub on deck

There is a playroom available for children.

It is not common practice to tip on Hurtigruten ships on the coastal voyage, but if you feel that crew members should be rewarded for providing exceptional service, tip boxes? are placed in the restaurant together with envelopes.
