Background
MS Richard With
Overview

When Captain Richard With established the Norwegian Coastal Express in 1893, he made an enormous impact on life along the Norwegian coastline. The MS Richard With lives up to that legacy.

In 2022, MS Richard With was upgraded to a greener hybrid ship. Emissions are cut by large battery packs combined with the ships efficient and brand new engines, reducing fuel consumption and CO2-emissions by approximately 25 percent. The ship is also updated with state of the art navigation and control equipment, new waste water treatment equipment, and SRC technology that reduce NOx emissions by at least 80 percent.

Relax in the ship's panorama lounges and take in the unforgettable views of remarkable coastal scenery, much of it the same as when the first Hurtigruten boats sailed by more than a century ago. Beautiful art throughout the ship's interior adds contemporary elegance to the vessel's maritime ambience.

Food & Drink

A voyage with us is a feast for all the senses. As the scenery outside your window changes, so does what’s on your plate – shaped by season, region and tradition.

We source ingredients from around 70 local farms, fisheries and bakeries along the coast, bringing Norway’s freshest flavours on board. From Vesterålen cod and Lofoten cheeses to craft beer from Bergen, every dish tells a story of place – a true taste of Norway.

Restaurants on The Coastal Express
Reflecting our love of food and our home, each of our onboard restaurants is named after an aspect of the Norwegian coast. Together, they offer our guests an exciting exploration of our homeland’s cuisine.

Torget
Meaning ‘marketplace’ in Norwegian, the main restaurant offers a variety for all three daily meals. For dinner, it provides either a buffet or set menus.

Kysten
Dine in style at ‘The Coast’, our à la carte option. You’ll savour exquisite dishes crafted by our most skilled chefs, using the finest ingredients the Norwegian coast has to offer.

Brygga
The name of this bistro is the Norwegian word for ‘wharf’. It serves salads, pizzas, and other crowd-pleasers with a Nordic twist.

Multe
Let the aroma of freshly baked cakes and pastries guide you to Multe. The name Multe means ‘cloudberry’ in Norwegian. Jam made from this rare Arctic berry can be sampled in the bakery, often served with waffles and generous dollops of whipped cream or ice cream.

Entertainment

Life on board a Hurtigruten ship is calm, comfortable and distinctly Norwegian. From the moment you step on board, you’ll feel relaxed and welcome. A warm greeting from the crew, easy conversation with fellow guests, and a calm, comfortable atmosphere make our ships feel like a floating home from home.

There’s no staged entertainment or formal dress codes. Instead, the days unfold naturally – with fascinating talks from our Expedition Team, peaceful spaces to read or reflect, and ever-changing coastal views outside your window. Whether you’re in a cosy lounge, on deck, in a panoramic sauna or relaxing in your cabin or suite, Norway is always the star of the show.

You’ll travel alongside guests from around the world and a local Norwegian crew who know this coast as home. Attentive service, excellent food and spotless ships help you truly unwind, so you can focus on what matters most: experiencing Norway up close.
