Freshly refurbished in 2023, MS Trollfjord is an homage both to Norwegian nature and our 130-year heritage sailing the Norwegian coast. Locally sourced natural materials such as wood and stone feature prominently throughout the ship's furnishings, reflecting the beauty of the fjords we sail through.
The style of décor is classic, timeless, and unique in our fleet. You'll notice details and flourishes that evoke a sense of nostalgia, harking back to a golden era of exclusive small-ship sailing.
Recently, Elizabeth and Iona, Senior Luxury Sales Consultants at The Sovereign Cruise Club, had the privilege of experiencing Hurtigruten's Signature Collection firsthand. Their journey took them from the northernmost reaches of Norway, across the Arctic Circle, to Longyearbyen. Below is a detailed blog post capturing their onboard experience and their professional insights on the product.

Life at sea aboard MS Trollfjord is a marriage of modern comforts and age-old maritime ambience. Freshly refurbished in 2023 by locally sourced natural wood and stone features prominently throughout the ship's furnishings inspired by the beautiful Fjords sailed through. MS Trollfjord represents both Norwegian nature and our 130-year heritage sailing the Norwegian coast.
MS Trollfjord‘s main restaurant Flora is inspired by Norway’s edible herbs, berries, mushrooms, flowers, fruit and vegetables. Depending on what's in season, you could try dishes such as lightly smoked Arctic char, plant-based Wellington with sugar kelp confit Trøndersopp from our own kelp farm or flavoursome wild game enriched by time spent grazing on berries, herbs and flowers.
Brasserie Árran is our way of showing our respect and gratitude to the Sámi people and everything they have done for Norway. Dining on traditional dishes with a modern twist such as bidos (a Sámi reindeer stew), souvas (sliced smoked reindeer meat) with lingonberry aioli, or pickled herring on rye bread with cured egg yolk.
Inspired by the ancient fish bank of Røst in the Lofoten Islands, our fine-dining restaurant is a homage to the produce that helped established Norway: fish. Røst‘s menu is based on the flora and fauna that flourishes beneath the ship and along the coast. Alongside the stockfish that Norway’s economy and heritage was built on, your dishes could include salmon or reindeer as well as more unexpected ingredients such as seaweed, kelp, Arctic pearls (a vegan roe) and sea urchins. Our resident sommeliers are on hand to help pair each dish with the perfect wine.
Settle down in a comfortable chair behind the huge windows on the two-storey observation deck and take your pick of drinks laced with the flavours and remarkable stories of the Norwegian coast. Perhaps a Nordic-themed cocktail made with berries picked along the coast, beer brewed with water from Trollfjord or spirits distilled with glacial water. There's no better place to watch that extraordinary scenery slip by.
