How to Book Expedition Ship

The MV Polar Star was built in Finland in 1969 and joined the Swedish fleet of icebreakers under the name NJORD. The Polar Star was a working icebreaker in the Baltic until she was bought for full conversion as an expedition cruiser in April 2000.

The vessel has capacity for 105 passengers and offers 46 cabins. The ship also sports a panormic lounge, a comfortable dining room, a lecture room, the Polar Bar and library. A fleet of fully equiped Zodiacs (super-tough inflatable boats) is on hand for shore excursions.
