What to expect from MS Trollfjord
Overview
Sailing both The Svalbard Line and The North Cape Line, MS Trollfjord is an homage both to Norwegian nature and our 130-year heritage sailing the Norwegian coast.
Locally sourced natural materials such as wood and stone feature prominently throughout the ship’s furnishings, reflecting the beauty of the fjords we sail through.
The style of décor is classic, timeless, and unique in our fleet. You’ll notice details and flourishes that evoke a sense of nostalgia, harking back to a golden era of exclusive small-ship sailing.

The Expedition Team will be by your side as part of your voyage with us, sharing stories and insights about Norway’s culture, nature, and history.
Knowing Norway
Each member of the team has a range of specialised topics in their repertoire, ready to share with you in lectures and presentations on board, on deck, and ashore.
Meet your team
Talk to the team to sign up to available seasonal excursions or to join them on invigorating hikes to scenic spots in several of the ports we call at.
At home with us
The team organise a range of inclusive, onboard activities for you, such as morning yoga, film nights, hands-on arts and crafts, photography tips, and cooking demonstrations.
Seasonal Excursions
Elevate your Hurtigruten voyage with our captivating shore excursions, revealing Norway's rich nature, culture, and history in-depth. Book today!
Enhance your voyage with our wide range of optional excursions that allow you to delve deeper into the dramatic landscapes, rich history, and charming culture of Norway and Svalbard. We offer more than 130 excursions up and down the coast, each run by local suppliers who are ready to showcase the wonders of their home.
Take your pick from a palette of active adventures such as kayaking along Ålesund’s waterways, quad biking to the North Cape or snowshoeing in Tromsø. If you’re interested in history, you can join a World War II tour in Kristiansand or explore the hidden rooms of Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim.
There are plenty of opportunities to sample the delicacies of the Norwegian coast, too, with visits to the world’s northernmost brewery and boat trips to go king crab fishing with locals. We also recommend cultural visits that introduce you to Sámi culture or to the workings of a family-run dairy farm in Lofoten.
An excursion for every season
While many excursions are offered year-round, some are season specific. Summer is a glorious time to be in Norway and Svalbard, with a variety of activities that make the most of the long, leisurely days of the Midnight Sun. Why not enjoy a RIB safari in search of Sea Eagles or a guided e-bike tour around the island of Senja?
The cooler weather in autumn, winter, and spring turns Norway into a wonderland of snow, best enjoyed by dog sled or on cross-country skis. You could also try your hand at snowmobiling, hopefully with the Northern Lights dancing above.
Activities that are right for you
Our diverse excursions cater not just for varied interests but also for different mobility levels, so you can choose the activity that’s right for you.
We offer four distinct physical levels that cater to all - from accessible museum visits to challenging hikes that require a good level of fitness. Certain activities are even wheelchair-friendly, ensuring inclusivity for all.

Cooking Courses
Step into our kitchen and learn the skills that us Norwegians have used for centuries.
Guided by our expert chefs, get to know the basics of traditional Norwegian techniques like smoking, salting, and curing, using fresh, local ingredients from the coast.
Afterwards, you’ll get to savour the taste of your creation, knowing you’ve experienced a piece of Norway’s culinary heritage first-hand.
Dining
The peerless dishes, drinks, and dining experiences proudly present Norwegian cuisine at its finest.
The produce and culinary heritage of Norway's coast is at the heart of your experience on an all-inclusive Signature voyage.
Our three onboard restaurants offer an exciting flavour of Norway’s past, present, and future. Each one embraces traditional preservation methods that have been tried and trusted by Norwegians through thousands of Arctic winters, such as drying, fermenting, and salting.
Our talented team of chefs, mixologists, and sommeliers have gathered, refined, and reimagined recipes from across Norway, past and present, crafting them into the most delicious dishes and drinks for a true feast for your senses.
While sailing on a Signature Voyage, you can eat dry-aged beef served by a chef with a story about the meat’s provenance, drink beer made from water sourced in the Trollfjord, and learn all about the distinctly Nordic spirit, aquavit.
Best of all, the journey from fjord or field to fork is short but deliciously sweet. As we sail, you’ll pass the very fjords that gave us our fish, the mountains that grew our herbs, and the pastures that reared our lamb.
Onboard Tastings and demonstrations
While sailing with us you won’t just visit the ports of the Norwegian coast – you’ll taste them too.
Depending on what’s in season, you might get to sample cured reindeer from Finnmark, shrimp freshly caught from the icy waters of Lyngenfjord, or even Norway’s golden nectar – aquavit.
Join our chefs and mixologists as they share the stories behind each product and its roots along the coast.
Flora
Our main restaurant, Flora is inspired by Norway’s edible herbs, berries, mushrooms, flowers, fruit, and vegetables.
Depending on what’s in season, you could try dishes such as lightly smoked Arctic char, plant-based Wellington with sugar kelp, or confit Trøndersopp mushrooms from our own kelp farm.
Breakfast and lunch are served buffet style, while the evening menu is à la carte.
This changes every night of your voyage, curated around the port we have visited that day, meaning that you will never eat the same dish twice.
Sailings on MS Trollfjord are all-inclusive, and all main meals are included and served in the main restaurant, Flora.
- Breakfast: 07:00–10:00 (buffet)
- Lunch: 12:00–14:00 (buffet)
- Dinner: 18:00–20:00 (plated 3-course meal)
Brasserie Árran
Named after the northern Sámi word for the fire found at the heart of their traditional lavvo tent, Brasserie Árran specialises in traditional Norwegian cuisine with a twist.
It’s a place for people to gather and share stories, which is exactly what we hope you’ll do here. The dark wood, leather, and rough-hewn stone create 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.
You can dine in Brasserie Árran for lunch or dinner (open: 12:00-21:00).
Røst
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.
The food in Røst is based on the flora and fauna that flourishes beneath our ships as they sail along the coast.
Its three-to-five course menu rotates throughout the voyage, featuring 16 beautiful, palate-pleasing seasonal dishes.
Alongside the stockfish that Norway’s economy – and heritage – was built on, you might dine on salmon or reindeer as well as more unexpected ingredients such as seaweed, kelp, Arctic pearls (a vegan roe), and sea urchins.
What’s more, our resident sommeliers are on hand to help pair each dish with the perfect wine or expertly crafted mocktail.
Fine dining at Røst (open for breakfast 07:00-10:00, lunch 12:00-14:00 and dinner 18:00-20:00) is included for Suite guests and can be added as an onboard upgrade for other cabin categories.
Afternoon Tea
