Title: Finnmarken to replace Nordstjernen
Post by: Stefan Niederer on November 17, 2011, 04:00:43 PM

After two years as a floating hotel in Australia, the Hurtigruten-Ship MV Finnmarken will in 2012 be reinstated to the regular service along the Norwegian coast. The ship is currently being overhauled in Singapore. Starting Service again around 16 February between Bergen and Kirkenes.

I would love to see some pictures of her during the docking-time and her voyage back to norway.

Would be great to get some shot of her new "old" livery.

Thanks Robert, I noticed that she sails form time to time with about 18 knots, but thought she only could go 15 knots. I know that the normal travelspeed is about 14.5 knots in the original hurtigruten route. But never saw the 18 kn before.
