Sign up for exclusive cruises in the UK with MS Fridtjof Nansen

Our new hybrid battery powered expedition cruise ship will be ready earlier than expected. As a result, we're adding a series of shorter cruises for you to join in the UK.

MS Fridtjof Nansen is set for delivery by the end of 2019, well ahead of her April 1st inaugural voyage from Hamburg to the Norwegian coast.  

Departing from London (March 7), Liverpool (March 12) and Portsmouth (March 17), the exclusive 5-night pre-inaugural voyages will take guests exploring hand-picked destinations in and around the British Isles.

The hybrid powered ship will visit destinations such as Isles of Scilly, Fowey, Isle of Man and Dartmouth.  

A 4-night voyage from Tower Bridge in London will depart for the Norwegian capital of Oslo and take guests through the Kiel Canal and Aalborg in Denmark.

See detailed itineraries below.
