The ship

MS Spitsbergen

Capacity:
150 Guests
Style:
MS Spitsbergen is relaxed and comfortable, with neutral Scandinavian decor and observation decks to take in the passing scenery.

MS Spitsbergen joined the HX Hurtigruten Expeditions fleet in 2016 after an extensive renovation and operates expedition voyages primarily to Svalbard.

What we love

Following a complete renovation in 2016, MS Spitsbergen now operates expedition voyages in the Arctic including Svalbard, Greenland and Iceland. The small size and manoeuvrability of this ship allows her to get up close to explore the magnificent fjords and icy channels of this region.

    From cruise tips to travel protection, here are some of our most-asked questions

    visit our faqs

    Will I save by booking with Mundy Cruising?

    Absolutely. You'll save money and time by booking with us rather than directly with the cruise line and enjoy more flexibility in your travel arrangements. We have access to preferential rates and exclusive offers, and we offer expert advice on how to get the best value.

    What are the benefits of a small luxury ship?

    Because small ships are able to reach smaller ports of call and provide a higher level of service than their big ship counterparts, we believe that small ship cruising is the very best way to travel. Usually they offer more space per person, and an attentive team to make sure you have the very best experience. Small ship cruising offers the very best of the best.
