Built in 1958, this “Grand Old Lady” has led an illustrious life primarily as a research and rescue vessel. R/V Kinfish was instrumental in mapping out much of the Svalbard sea floor in the early 1990’s. She has now been modernized and remodeled as a comfortable passenger expedition vessel. Her interior is completely refurbished in a modern Scandinavian design and she is brimming with new electronic navigation and communication equipment.
