Expedition Ship: M/S Stockholm

M/S StockholmOver the past fifteen years, we have led expedition cruises on a dozen ships covering the full range of sizes and styles. The M/S Stockholm is a truly special ship in the fact she carries just 12 guests. Inside, she is like a museum with original maps and artwork on the walls. Polished brass and wood create a warm atmosphere in the dining rooms, lounge and bridge. We are thrilled to be operating this custom trip on such an accomplished and luxurious passenger vessel with such an experienced Captain and crew.

Affectionately called "Stockholm", She has achieved numerous expedition firsts over the years and her small size and ice re-inforced hull allows us to venture safely into areas off limits to larger ships. Stockholm was built by the Swedish Navy as an Arctic working vessel. In 1995, She started her career as a passenger ship and she has been cruising the waters of Scotland, Norway and Spitsbergen every summer since. She carries 12 passengers in outside-facing twin cabins all with private facilities.

Stockholm is very well-appointed and provides loads of deck space and an open bridge policy. The two Zodiac landing boats ensures superb wildlife viewing opportunities on otherwise inaccessible coastlines. We have chartered her numerous times and she is one of our favourite ice-ships.

Captain Per Engwall is the owner and an expert captain highly experienced around Scotland and Norway. He has a great love and passion for this natural world. Fathom's team of experts are all enthusiastic, passionate and dedicated. Onboard chefs prepare excellent cuisine daily including many local specialties. The "Scottish Pub" onboard is well-stocked with carefully selected wines and spirits for celebrations at the end of the day.
