Nordlys is named after the spectacular natural phenomena, the Northern Light. The ship has no engine and she ships organic cargo between European countries solely with the power of the wind. The Nordlys carries a maximum of 25 tons of organic and traditionally crafted goods like wine, whisky and olive oil. As does the Northern Light, Nordlys will leave you with memories that last forever.
