About the Ship

Purpose-built as an expedition cruise ship, MS Fram is a much-beloved polar vessel. On board, comfort is a top priority, so after a day of exploration you can relax in a hot tub, dine in your choice of two restaurants or at the outdoor BBQ and catch up with your fellow guests in the Explorer Lounge & Bar.
The 2022 upgrade has injected a fresh Nordic look and feel across all seven decks, while exploration and learning remain front and centre. There’s an expanded and improved Science Center, upgraded lecture areas and the ability to stream Expedition Team talks to your cabin.
