Ship Facts
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.

Dining & Cuisine
Main Dining
The peerless dishes, drinks, and dining experiences proudly present Norwegian cuisine at its finest.
The produce and culinary heritage of Norway's coast is at the heart of your experience on an all-inclusive Signature voyage.
Our three onboard restaurants offer an exciting flavour of Norway’s past, present, and future. Each one embraces traditional preservation methods that have been tried and trusted by Norwegians through thousands of Arctic winters, such as drying, fermenting, and salting.
Our talented team of chefs, mixologists, and sommeliers have gathered, refined, and reimagined recipes from across Norway, past and present, crafting them into the most delicious dishes and drinks for a true feast for your senses.
While sailing on a Signature Voyage, you can eat dry-aged beef served by a chef with a story about the meat’s provenance, drink beer made from water sourced in the Trollfjord, and learn all about the distinctly Nordic spirit, aquavit.
Best of all, the journey from fjord or field to fork is short but deliciously sweet. As we sail, you’ll pass the very fjords that gave us our fish, the mountains that grew our herbs, and the pastures that reared our lamb.
