About MS Spitsbergen
Named after the jewel of the Svalbard archipelago, Spitsbergen, MS Spitsbergen embodies Hurtigruten's enduring connection to these remote Arctic regions, tracing back to 1896 with the establishment of the 'Sports Route'. Following an extensive reconstruction in 2016, the ship joined Hurtigruten's fleet, boasting advanced technical features, contemporary public spaces, and cabins adorned with a fresh Scandinavian design inspired by the colors of the sea. Step aboard MS Spitsbergen and discover your floating sanctuary, where comfort blends seamlessly with Scandinavian elegance in a relaxed yet refined atmosphere.
MS Spitsbergen boasts its own dedicated Expedition Team, transforming your voyage into an enriching educational experience. Engaging lectures held onboard and on the sun deck offer insights into the seasonal wonders and coastal phenomena encountered during the journey. Led by the Expedition Team, daily lecture programs and evening gatherings provide opportunities to delve deeper into topics ranging from nature and culture to the unique Norwegian concept of 'friluftsliv' (outdoor life). Guests can also join outdoor excursions and activities, immersing themselves in the breathtaking landscapes and traditions of Norway.
At the heart of the onboard experience lies the Science Center, a hub of innovation and exploration. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, including touch screens and scientific tools, this versatile venue fosters collaboration between guests and staff, enhancing their understanding of the areas being explored. With lecture spaces, a small library, and specialized areas for workshops in photography, biology, and other subjects, the Science Center offers a dynamic space for learning and discovery. It's also home to Hurtigruten's carefully selected Expedition Team, ready to guide and inspire passengers throughout their journey.
