About MS Nordlys

"Both the name and the interior design of this modern hybrid ship are inspired by the spectacular Northern Lights." — the portal's own description, verbatim.

Same yard as MS Kong Harald, written differently — `Volkswerft (D)` here against `Volkswerft (Germany)` there. Same builder, two notations, on the same portal.

Tell us what you’re after and we’ll build it
