• M/S Stockholm, Svalbard Expedition Ship

about the M/S Stockholm

about the M/S Stockholm

A classic ship constructed in 1953 for the Swedish Maritime Administration which was then refurbished and classified as an ice-classed passenger trip. With just 6 cabins, the MS Stockholm is intimate enough for a really personal experience – yet has the space necessary to keep ones mind at peace, almost like sailing in a private yacht.
