Reminiscent of classic steamer vessels, the Lofoten is one of two traditional ships in the fleet which were built in the early 1960s and has been refurbished several times, most recently in 2004 for the new voyages into the fjords of Western Norway and around the Lofoton Islands.. They are the most intimate of the Norwegian Coastal vessels, accommodating fewer than 200 cruise passengers each. In the year 2000 the ship was named a listed vessel by the Norwegian Director General of Historic Monuments.
