Built for the Coastal Voyage fleet, the MS Nordstjernen was extensively modernized in 2000 for exclusive Arctic sailing, yet still retains the aura of an old Atlantic cruiser. She is equipped with a dining room and bar, a café, a panoramic lounge, and a library. She features cozy inside and outside staterooms, the majority with upper/lower berths. The traditional use of wood throughout the ship creates an extraordinary atmosphere.
