70th anniversary nostalgic mailboat voyage
MV Nordstjernen 1956 – 2026
70 years of wind and waves - 70 years of tales whispered by the sea
We set sail on a special voyage, with hearts full of memories and eyes on the horizon
2026 will be a very special and emotional year for Nordstjernen and her loyal passengers. Our beloved “Stjerna” will turn 70 on February 24th! Naturally, we want to celebrate this milestone on board Nordstjernen together with “the best passengers in the world” — on two special nostalgic mailboat voyages. Our big " 70th anniversary voyage" will take place from May 7th to May 25th, 2026.
Departing from and returning to Warnemünde/Germany (an alternative embarkation is possible on May 8th in Gothenburg/Sweden and a disembarkation on May 24th in Malmö/Sweden), we will follow the old routes of the coastal express ships — through majestic fjords and past fishing villages, along steep coastlines, remote skerries, and familiar places. It will be a journey full of memories and emotions — and of joyful anticipation for what lies ahead. We’ll experience both well-known and new ports together, as well as the awakening of the Nordic spring with its long bright nights and the midnight sun. After all, this region was Nordstjernen’s home for more than 56 years during her era as a Hurtigruten ship — and now, it’s time to come back! A very special highlight awaits us on this voyage. On May 17th, we will celebrate Norway’s National Day together for the very first time in the far north — in true style, on board our Nordstjernen, with flags, music, stories, and joy in our hearts. And of course with Norwegian waffles...
This special journey is more than a voyage to Northern Norway. It is a tribute to classic seafaring and a bygone era that will come alive once more on this journey.

Nostalgic mailboat voyages – Preview September 2026
In September, we would like to offer our second nostalgic mailboat voyage during the anniversary year of our Nordstjernen. We are currently in contact with the ports and are working on putting together a sea voyage to Southern England. However, we still need more time for planning, as there are many details yet to be clarified.
The planned dates are approximately from September 2nd to September 16th, 2026.
