MS Otto Sverdrup

Experience the intimate charm of the MS Otto Sverdrup, a classic Hurtigruten vessel that offers a more personal connection to the Arctic wilderness than larger ocean liners. Carrying just 500 passengers and operated by a dedicated crew of 165, this 138-meter ship provides an authentic, small-ship atmosphere perfect for navigating narrow fjords. Since its launch in 2002, this 15,690 GT explorer has remained a staple of the fleet, blending maritime heritage with the specialized expertise required for coastal expeditions.
