Vestland Classic AS offers cruises on small vessels around Norway up to Svalbard (aka Spitsbergen) and the Baltic, with a focus on classic Hurtigruten liners. Their beautiful flagship NORDSTJERNEN was built in 1956 by Blohm & Voss in Hamburg and served the Norwegian coastal ports more than 50 years until 2012.

Since the refurbishment in 2006 she  offers 62 cabins with 168 berths, yet her interior has been preserved as much as possible as she is registered as a Norwegian heritage vessel.

This fall NORDSTJERNEN made two cruises around Jutland (the Danish mainland peninsula) and was spotted cruising the Kiel Canal Oct 4th heading for Esbjerg.
