MS Polarlys

MS Polarlys stands out for the way it combines an authentic coastal voyage with a strong sense of atmosphere, particularly during the winter months when the Northern Lights are at their most active. Named after this natural phenomenon, the ship is closely tied to the experience of travelling through Arctic regions where light, landscape and season all play a defining role. As part of Hurtigruten’s working fleet, MS Polarlys follows a set coastal route, connecting communities along the way while carrying passengers, goods and vehicles. This gives the journey a real sense of purpose, offering a more genuine insight into life along Norway’s coastline rather than a purely scenic cruise. What also sets it apart is the balance it strikes. You have the comfort of well-designed public spaces and panoramic views, alongside the constantly changing rhythm of the coast itself – from quiet fjords to active harbours. The Expedition Team adds further depth, helping you understand more about the places you pass through, from wildlife and geography to local culture.
