Stockholm

Explore Onboard a Beloved Treasure of Scandinavian Maritime History

M/S Stockholm offers a cosy home away from home, as she is a well-known and well-loved piece of Scandinavian maritime history. Designed to accommodate 12 guests, alongside 2 guides, and 7 Swedish crewmembers, an expedition onboard M/S Stockholm offers an intimate experience with the Arctic wilderness; a unique offering hard to find elsewhere.

M/S Stockholm was built in 1953, in a Swedish shipyard, starting off her career under the Swedish National Maritime Administration. After her time as a service vessel, she went through a complete refit and her new expedition career in the Arctic began in 1998. Her transition to an expedition vessel focused on guest comfort, both in terms of personal service and atmosphere. With beautiful brass details, spacious pine wooden outside decks, and traditional style cabins, she is a great platform for photography and in-depth exploration.

Experience Matters

With an impressive 25 years of navigating within Svalbard’s waters, M/S Stockholm is right at home in either the pack ice or the inner fjord systems. The crew of the ship have genuine enthusiasm and love for the Arctic wilderness and wildlife, something that increases overall guest experience immeasureably. The experience of the ship and the crew creates a familiar atmosphere and the knowledge of the captain, officers, and guides allows for an incredibly smooth and effective operation.

Travelling Solo, Together

M/S Stockholm is a common preference for solo travellers as all cabins are twin cabins with two single beds. On a ship this size, it offers each guest space for personal reflection while also fostering an atmosphere where there are always helpful, friendly people around. Head up to the bridge and chat with the captain about their experience, find a cosy seat in the lounge and chat with your fellow traveller about their bucket list, or head to the outer deck for some quiet reflection. Perhaps you step onboard as a solo travellers but you leave as part of a community.

Outdoor Deck Space

For photographers and filmmakers, the outer deck space is an obvious advantage of M/S Stockholm. Getting low to the water line and having space to move about the vessel are contribte to the popularity of this vessel in the Arctic regions.
