MS Kong Harald deck plans

MS Kong Harald (1993-built, last refurbished in 2016) is the first in a series of six vessels advertised as “contemporary" Hurtigruten ships, together with Nordkapp, Nordlys, Nordnorge, Polarlys and Richard With. These ships operate the company’s "Norwegian Coastal Voyages" (NCV) program, offering cruise ferry travel on passenger-cargo vessels with year-round scheduled crossings along Norway’s coast, calling at a total of 34 seaports between Bergen and Kirkenes.

MS Kong Harald’s deck plan shows a total of 227 staterooms accommodating 474 passengers (maximum capacity 622 guests on Norwegian coastal voyages), served by 70 Norwegian crew and staff. The vessel has 7 decks (6 passenger-accessible, 4 with cabins, all connected by 2 elevators), 1 car lift (connecting decks 2–3 only), 2 bars, 4 lounges, a Spa/Sauna and a Fitness Center. The ship’s interior design features the Norwegian King’s Crown emblem, several spacious public rooms named after famous Norwegian Arctic explorers, and public spaces adorned with artworks by Norwegian artists. The ship has four cabin decks, mostly with twin-bed outside staterooms featuring large picture windows.

The Kong Harald is named after the current King of Norway, Harald V, who succeeded his father, King Olav V, in 1991.
