MS Tuvholmen was built as a fishing vessel in Vestnes, Norway, in 1953. For more than 70 years, she has been part of Norway's rich coastal heritage. Today, that legacy lives on through NX Journey, where the vessel continues to do what she was built for – carrying people to sea and bringing them closer to nature, local traditions and life along the Arctic coast.
