MS Erik Raude
MS Eirik Raude (MS Midnatsol prior to the makeover) is named for the Viking explorer, also known as Eric the Red. He discovered, named and settled Greenland in the 10th century. Like its namesake, MS Eirik Raude is a great adventurer, meant to explore the rugged Norwegian coastline all year long. MS Eirik Raude has a modern design and progressive environmental profile. The interior's bright, colourful décor is inspired by Norway's sunny summer days, a motif reflected in many of the pieces of Norwegian modern art on board. The vessel's sun deck and hot tub are on deck 9. Key features on MS Eirik Raude include a spacious, two-story panorama lounge above the bow. Its wall-to-wall windows bathe the lounge in natural light and provide extraordinary views.

Hurtigruten is one of the world’s great journeys, sailing and caring for the Norwegian coast since 1893. We are proud to be a national icon for generations of Norwegians and to have a special place in the hearts of our guests from around the world.
For the generations of local Norwegians who live and work on the Norwegian coast, the words ‘hurtig ruten’ are as common as ‘fjord’, ‘fjell’, and ‘fisk’. Sail with us and become a part of who we are: the spirit of Norway since 1893.
