Get to know M/S Stockholm

Our classic gem, M/S Stockholm, is a ship loved by many. This is evident not least in the number of returning guests. Traveling through the enchanting wilderness of Svalbard or the magical fjords of Northern Norway on a ship that carries only 12 passengers offers an unparalleled adventure. This blog post gives you the chance to explore M/S Stockholm in more detail.

Enthusiastic crew with many years of experience

Our pride lies not only in the historical heritage of M/S Stockholm but also in its dedicated crew, whose expertise and passion take each expedition to new heights. With decades of experience in Arctic waters, our enthusiastic team has taken travelers from around the world on unforgettable adventures in the untamed wilderness of Svalbard and the magical fjords of Northern Norway. The bridge is always open for those who want to admire the surrounding landscape or have a word with the captain.

Small ship - great experiences

There are few places on earth where one is so reminded of the smallness of man in relation to the grandeur of nature as in Svalbard. Traveling in a small group makes this experience even more exclusive. M/S Stockholm's modest size allows us to get to hard-to-reach places, explore fjords and maximize time in the wilderness. Boarding the Zodiacs and setting off on excursions is quick and itineraries can be more flexible.

Exciting Zodiac cruises and landings

On board M/S Stockholm two knowledgeable guides will do their utmost to maximise the polar adventure. Additionally, there are two Zodiacs (rubber boats) available for excursions, allowing us to get even closer to the magnificent nature. Our aim is to make daily Zodiac cruises and go ashore whenever possible.

Scout for wildlife on deck

On deck, there's plenty of space to scout for wildlife and capture magical moments on camera. Be enchanted by the magnificent polar landscape as it passes by, make memories with new friends among your fellow travelers, or lose yourself in the moment.

Relax in your cabin and the cosy social areas on board

The dining room seats all 12 passengers at once. The chef serves three meals a day: breakfast, lunch (buffet), and dinner (table service). There is also a cosy lounge/bar where you can relax between excursions, listen to interesting lectures, or enjoy a drink in the evening. 

Please note: Depending on the lens used for a photo or video shot an animal may appear to be closer than it is. We always follow strict wildlife guidelines to ensure that we do not cause any disturbance.
