Specification
Ms Expedition was built in Helsingør/Denmark in 1972 and was owned by Viking Lines for the last 15 years sailing between Sweden and Finland.
The ship has been bought by GAP Adventures and is currently undergoing a major rebuilding and modernisation at Aker shipyards in Turku/Finland. Spitsbergen Travel has chartered the ship for the Spitsbergen voyages.
Once finished, the ship will have spacious and comfortable public rooms including a panorama lounge, an expedition lounge, restaurant (one sitting), library, bar, fitness room and sauna. All cabins will be outside with a window or porthole and private facilities. A fleet of ten Zodiacs is available for landings and excursions and stabilisers ensure a smooth journey.
