Description

The Otto Sverdrup was built in 2002 as Finnmarken. In 2020 it was transformed from a liner into a cruise ship, renaming it with the name of the famous Norwegian explorer. Natural Scandinavian materials such as granite, oak, birch and wool were used to create a relaxed and elegant onboard atmosphere.
The Science Center on deck 4 is a centre for science and learning equipped with modern interactive technologies. The Otto Sverdrup has a capacity of 554 passengers.

The real Hurtigruten voyage: along the coast until Nordkapp. It's a cruise everyone should take! Also nice ship, even if old-style, and wonderful cruise staff.

Nei fiordi con Hurtigruten

Comment

Uno dei tanti nuovi postali dei fiordi, come sono soprannominati, il Finnmarken è una buona nave per questo tipo di itinerario. Stile semplice, nordico, ma buon servizio e cucina ottima, profondamente legata alla Norvegia. La nave in se stessa non è niente di particolare, ma accogliente. Gli iinerari di questa flotta invece sono incredibili. Spero di tornarci presto.
