Facilities:
Hurtigruten, the original Norwegian coastal express, is served by a fleet of 7 ships. All of them are working ships, transporting goods in addition to passengers. Since the ships will also call to ports during the night, some noise might occur. The facilities provided by the ships are uniform, but the choice of colours, materials and design means that each ship retains its own character.
They have large, comfortable lounges providing good views, fully licensed restaurants, cafés and bars, and souvenir shops that also sell a selection of toiletries. All have a panorama lounge/bar located on the top deck.
The majority of the ships also have outdoor Jacuzzis, fitness rooms and saunas for passengers. The very newest ships have several bars, restaurants and cafés with varied menus, extended conference facilities and internet cafés. All the ships, with the exception of MS Vesterålen, have good facilities for disabled people and have lifts.
