Longyearbyen, Norway Sun 21 Jun 2026

After breakfast, it’s time to experience Longyearbyen. The town is perfect for exploring on foot. Stroll down the main street and you might see Svalbard reindeer saunter by. Although wild, they're curious and tame. In the afternoon board MS Spitsbergen and continue your Arctic discovery

North West Spitsbergen National Park Tue 23 Jun 2026

Over the next three days, you'll explore the natural beauty and rugged tundra of Northwest Spitsbergen National Park. In this wilderness of steep mountains, stark glaciers and beautiful offshore islands, we’ll scan for animals of the Arctic – whales, seals, walruses and reindeer. If we’re really lucky, we might even see the elusive polar bear from the Observation Deck of the ship. In stunning Kongsfjord, you may see impressive glaciers calving into the sea.

Star Rating

Built in 2007 and refurbished in 2022, MS Fram is a small ship with a big spirit of adventure. With space for just 250 guests, she’s technically classed as a large yacht, and her size gives her a distinct advantage, allowing for deeper exploration and a more personal experience. As the third smallest ship in the HX fleet, MS Fram is perfectly suited to expedition cruising. Whether you’re navigating icy fjords or stepping ashore in off-the-beaten-track villages, MS Fram offers a warm, welcoming base for curious travellers who value discovery, connection and the thrill of going further.

What’s onboard: 130 guest staterooms, six activities, one speciality restaurant, one complimentary restaurant, one bar and lounge, three relaxation and fitness venues and six essential venues.
