MS Fram, a classic expedition ship for polar cruising

Named after the legendary Norwegian exploration vessel, MS Fram carries forward a proud heritage of  Antarctic discovery. Fully upgraded in 2025, this purpose-built expedition ship combines modern comfort with advanced technology, creating a welcoming and capable base for exploring some of the world’s most remote regions.

Designed with exploration at its core, MS Fram offers a relaxed and informal onboard atmosphere, where the focus remains firmly on the destinations. Interiors have been refreshed with a clean Nordic style, using natural materials and light-filled spaces to reflect the surrounding landscapes.

At the heart of the ship is the Science Centre, where guests can deepen their understanding of the regions visited through talks, lectures and interactive displays led by the expert expedition team. Enhanced lecture spaces and in-cabin streaming ensure you never miss a moment of insight.

Onboard facilities are designed for both comfort and connection. After a day ashore, you can unwind in the hot tubs or sauna, enjoy panoramic views from the Explorer Lounge & Bar, or dine across a choice of restaurants, including an outdoor BBQ area. A larger fleet of expedition boats allows for more flexible and frequent landings.
