MS QUEST

Small expedition ship for authentic adventures in the polar region | max. 50 passengers

MS Quest

A small expedition ship that makes very special experiences possible.

For more than 15 years, the small and comfortable 50-passenger ship MS Quest has been taking travelers on unforgettable expedition cruises through the Arctic wilderness of Spitsbergen.

The ship was built in Denmark in 1992 to serve as a ferry on the west coast of Greenland. In 2004/2005 , it was completely converted into a comfortable expedition ship – since then, it has been ideal for adventures in the special conditions of the Arctic.

In 2018, the passenger areas underwent extensive renovation and now offer 24 outside cabins with bathrooms, an observation deck, and a panoramic lounge from which you can enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

This small ship offers a truly unique experience; we can reach some of the most inaccessible areas, venture into small fjords, and thus ensure that we get the most out of every trip.
