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.
