The MS Nordkapp is a Hurtigruten (Norwegian Coastal Express) ship built in 1996 by Kleven Verft AS, Norway, for Ofotens og Vesteraalens Dampskibsselskab for use in Hurtigruten ferry service along the coast of Norway. She is a sister ship of MS Polarlys and MS Nordnorge. Since 2005 the Nordkapp has been used for cruising around the Antarctica during the Southern Hemisphere summer, returning to the Norwegian coastal traffic during the Northern Hemisphere summer.
In January 2007, the vessel ran aground off Deception Island, part of the South Shetland Islands, but without reported injuries.
