Another industry first - the Bear-antee!

Spitsbergen is the world's best place to see polar bears. Owing to our Expedition Team's extensive experience, your chances of seeing them are excellent. That's why we're the first in the industry to extend a polar bear guarantee - a 100% Bear-antee. In the unlikely event that our team is unable to locate a polar bear, every passenger onboard will receive a credit for the value they spent on their cruise to use towards a future Arctic cruise aboard the M/S Expedition.

Newly Renovated & Spacious

Following a $13 million refit in 2009 the M/S Expedition boasts spacious cabins, each featuring ocean-view windows or portholes and private en-suite facilities. Its top-of-the-line cabins provide a variety of affordable twins and triples, higher end twin cabins and luxurious suites.

A room with a view

Large common areas and observation decks provide superior views. 360 sightlines from the ship's upper decks offer sweeping panoramas, whilst the raised Canada Goose Observation deck provides a great vantage point from which to spot the unique wildlife. And, unlike many other ships, the M/S Expedition also offers breathtaking views from its interior-its passengers can relax in the warmth and comfort of the dining room or lounge without being cut off from the remarkable environment.

Safety & Stability

Designed with your safety in mind the M/S Expedition is fully equipped to meet the demands of cruising in polar regions. Its forward-looking sonar reduces the risk of grounding on uncharted reefs and its design and construction complies with Finnish-Swedish ICE Class 1 standards. The ship is equipped with new and regularly serviced lifeboats and life-rafts. Its four partially enclosed lifeboats provide capacity for all passengers and crew while six life rafts boast a capacity of 150 persons. In addition the M/S Expedition has full cold weather immersion suits for all-designed to significantly increase the odds of survival in the event of immersion in freezing waters.
