MS FRAM
The original Fram was the most famous explorer ship of its time, and the achievements of her expeditions are unparalleled. MS Fram brings on the heritage of the original Fram, using the most advanced technology to make her exceptionally well suited for expedition voyages in polar regions.
MS Fram was built in 2007 with one mission in mind – to bring her guests closer to nature, wildlife and unforgettable experiences. The spacious outside decks include access to the very front of the ship – a great place to observe marine wildlife.
The observation lounge, with comfortable sitting areas at the top of the ship and large panoramic windows, gives you incredible views of nature. A pair of binoculars is installed for spotting wildlife and details of the ever changing landscape. The restaurant on board also benefits from excellent views, and guests can also enjoy a gym, sauna and outdoor Jacuzzi.
With 127 cabins on Fram (a capacity for 256 passengers), you have a choice of comfortable cabins and a number of superior suites to choose from. The suites are named after Norwegian polar heroes, as MS Fram travels in the wake of these great explorers. The ‘tender pit’ is where you will embark, fully dressed in suitable expedition and excursion gear, on the sturdy Polarcirkel boats to take you safely from ship to shore. The original Fram was a ship for broadening the understanding of the world – let the new MS Fram do the same for you.
