Hurtigruten will be expanding their operation in Antarctica, from Autumn 2016 when MS Midnatsol, joins MS Fram, doubling their capacity and tripling their expedition offers. Hurtigruten’s expansion will give more customers the chance to discover the wonders of Antarctica for themselves.

Enjoy the culture of South America, visit Cape Horn and then see the majesty of Antarctica for yourself. You can see 3 million year old ice through a microscope, or touch meteors found on shore in new on-board ‘science laboratory’. You can come ashore and see penguins, seals, wildlife and seabirds as well as the amazing Antarctic continent, enjoy the views from deck, or join Hurtigruten on excursions such as snowshoeing, kayaking, and hikes. This adventure is perfect for those people looking to discover their inner explorer.
With MS Fram you can get up close to the great white continent as Hurtigruten’s small ship takes you on an Antarctican adventure. This is where the elements rule, and the weather, wind and ice conditions will determine our schedule. You can get ashore and see wildlife and historic sites, or challenge yourself both mentally and physically with an adventure excursions. Meet colonies of penguins, feel the roar of silence when you sleep ashore, glide silently though the sea in a kayak surrounded by nothing but icebergs and seals. Discovery with Ms Fram is perfect for the true adventurer who is keen to take a walk on the wild side.
