The Fleet
| Millennium Ships | The brand-new Millennium Ships, MS Finnmarken and MS Trollfjord will be in service in April and May 2002. Both ships accommodate 670 passengers and they have 50% more deck space and 40% more berths than the New Ships. Suites are available, many with a balcony, and some with a Jacuzzi. In Coastal tradition these ships are floating art galleries that showcase Norwegian paintings, sculptures, and textiles. The interior of the MS Finnmarken is decorated in Art Nouveau style, while the MS Trollfjord is modern in design with extensive use of Norwegian wood, stone, and large expanses of glass. The MS Finnmarken also boasts a swimming pool and squash court, and both ships are equipped with gyms. Panoramic lounges are located on the top decks with several restaurants, cafes, and bars. |
