MS Spitsbergen

See Offers

MS Spitsbergen is named after the crown jewel of Arctic Norway – the Svalbard archipelago and its biggest island, Spitsbergen. Hurtigruten has a long history of travelling to Spitsbergen, beginning in 1896 with the `Sports Route´. MS Spitsbergen cruises along the Norwegian coast from September to May, and becomes part of our global Explorer sailings during the rest of the year.

After complete reconstruction, MS Spitsbergen joined the Hurtigruten fleet in 2016. The ship features high technical standards as well as comfortable, modern public areas and cabins. The vessel's fresh Scandinavian design reflects a colour palette derived from the sea. She is modern and environmentally progressive, and we plan further improvements that will reduce emissions and fuel consumption even more. The new ship’s maneuverability and optimal size make her quite suitable for exploring polar waters.

The ultimate cruise experience blends elegant settings and extraordinary service on board with incredible natural surroundings ashore. The combination of Century Cruises’ years of experience in providing top-notch service and inspiring itineraries is paired with forward thinking and innovation. It has adopted new exciting amenities and developed vibration and noise reduction technologies as well eco-friendly features. We can always aim higher.
