MS Finnmarken
The land docked MS Finnmarken (1956) is a monument on Norwegian Coastal history, docked in the town centre of Stokmarknes, Vesterålen. Stokmarknes is the birth place of the Hurtigruta coastal express operations, wich has been operated since July 1893.
The Hurtigruten operations has connected Norway, both inland and coast, north and south, and is still a vital, very important way of communication.
You are welcome aboard MS Finnmarken, to see and feel former life along the coast.
You will meet with history of sailors and pioneers, passengers and people along the coast of Norway, from Bergen to Kirkenes.
Visit the bridge, old cabins, exhibitions, the café (which is serving drinks and meals) and the rest of the ship as well.
Take part in guided tours and learn why the Hurtigruta holds such a strong position with the Norwegian people. Even a part of DS Finmarken (1912) is available to our visitors.
Memorable experiences are waiting you, wether you travel with children or adults only. Welcome aboard!
