About the M/S Stockholm

Ulrich Kuhn

Ulrich Kuhn

MS Stockholm navigates the icy waters of the Arctic, surrounded by drifting sea ice under a cloudy sky.

The M/S Stockholm is a classic vessel, originally built in 1953 for the Swedish National Maritime Administration. In 1998, she underwent a complete refit and embarked on her new journey as a comfortable polar expedition ship. The M/S Stockholm accommodates up to 12 passengers in cosy twin cabins equipped with bunk beds, private facilities, and small windows (portholes).

Maritime Charm

With her beautiful brass details and wooden decks, M/S Stockholm stands as a stunning piece of maritime history, cherished by many for her charm and elegance. Boasting over 20 years of navigating Svalbard's challenging waters, the M/S Stockholm has proven her capability to reach remote sites that are inaccessible to larger ships.

To enhance exploration, the ship is equipped with two Zodiacs and staffed by two knowledgeable guides.
