History
AI-generated

MS Nordnorge is a Norwegian-registered coastal vessel that serves the Bergen–Kirkenes route for Hurtigruten and is the sixth and final ship of the 90-class generation of Hurtigruten vessels. Built at Kværner-Kleven Ulsteinvik, the ship has operated in regular coastal rotation since its maiden voyage, though it has been temporarily deployed for Antarctic expedition cruises and has served as a hotel ship during periods of reduced demand. The vessel has experienced two groundings during its service history, one near Nesna and another at Skjervøy, both of which required repairs.
