MS Midnatsol
The MS Midnatsol boasts a rich heritage and captivating charm. Translated from Norwegian, 'Midnatsol' means 'Midnight Sun' and is the most coveted ship name in Hurtigruten's 130-year history. Since its maiden voyage in 1893, four ships have carried this name, first in 1910 and then in 1949, 1982, and 2003. Today, the modern MS Midnatsol is equipped with cutting-edge technology, making it an ideal vessel for polar expeditions. Discover the wonders of nature and wildlife along the Norwegian coast or journey to South America and Antarctica on an extraordinary expedition voyage.
