Polarlys is the Norwegian word for Polar Light, and the name is a tribute to the special Arctic lights. MS Polarlys is a stylish ship, furnished with mahogany paneling, polished brass, and a choice selection of Norwegian contemporary art. Together with the extensive use of wood in the public areas, this has created a unique maritime atmosphere.
