MS Midnatsol
MS Midnatsol is a modern expedition ship that combines Scandinavian comfort with Hurtigruten’s pioneering spirit of exploration. Carrying around 970 guests, she was originally built for voyages along Norway’s spectacular coastline but is equally at home in polar regions such as Antarctica, thanks to her ice-strengthened hull and advanced navigation systems.
Her name, meaning Midnight Sun, reflects her Norwegian heritage and the long summer days experienced above the Arctic Circle. Onboard, guests enjoy bright, contemporary interiors, panoramic lounges, and a relaxed atmosphere that celebrates adventure, community and the beauty of the natural world.
