Your Incredible Signature Experience Highlights

MS Fridtjof Nansen

Launched in 2020, MS Fridtjof Nansen, named after the famed Norwegian explorer, scientist, humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Fridtjof Nansen. Known for his innovations in Arctic expeditions, Nansen led the first crossing of Greenland on cross-country skis. He is perhaps most famous for his attempt to reach the geographical North Pole during the Fram Expedition.

Each expedition voyage is accompanied by a hand-picked team of specialists and modern-day explorers. Highly experienced, passionate and knowledgeable, the Expedition Team will be your guides and guardians on your voyage of exploration, instructing you on safety, sustainability and science.

Your Wildlife Watchlist

Polar bears, walrus, beluga whales and musky oxen are just some of the exciting wildlife to look out for on your journey.

Be among the few to sail in the wake of great explorers on as you embark on a journey through the legendary Northwest Passage. Experience the raw and daunting beauty of wild terrain on a rarely travelled voyage, where even today, few ships have the capability to navigate this isolated sea passage that cuts through stunning Arctic landscape.
