This is a beautifully detailed model made by the highly regarded maker Albatros has been long out of production. The Kong Harald was the first ship of the so-called “new generation” . Her keel was laid on February 7, 1992 at Volkswerft in Stralsund . The launch took place on November 28, 1992. On June 25, 1993, the ship was delivered to the shipping company Troms Fylkes Damskipsselskap A/S and christened in Stralsund by Hjordis Opseth, the wife of the then Norwegian Transport Minister Kjell Opseth . In May 2006, the shipping company Hurtigruten ASA took over the ship and chartered it out for a short time to Norsk Hydro, as a residential and hotel ship before returning to Hurtigruten service October 2016 and refurbished. The Kong Harald originally had room for 691 passengers and had 490 beds. There were parking spaces for 55 cars, which were reached via a side loading ramp.
