About

About MS Midnatsol

Previously MS Maud, MS Midnatsol is named after the Midnight Sun, the phenomenon that occurs in northern Norway every summer when the sun doesn’t set for 24 hours.

Currently part of our Original fleet, MS Midnatsol will be transformed into a Signature ship in May - a renewal that reflects the light, art and natural beauty of Norway itself.

From May 2026, MS Midnatsol will sail as part of our Signature fleet. Signature voyages are defined by a slower pace, longer stays in port and a strong focus on immersive experiences, combining comfort, culture and discovery.

On board, guests enjoy spacious public areas, welcoming lounges with panoramic views and an atmosphere designed for relaxation and connection with the landscapes outside. Signature journeys are hosted by an expanded Expedition Team, sharing insights through talks, activities and guided experiences that deepen your understanding of the regions you explore.
