POLAR QUEST

M/S Quest is a comfortable expedition ship with a wonderful crew.

In 2004/2005, the ship went through a complete refurbishment, followed by a renovation of the passenger areas in 2018. She can take up to 53 passengers in 26 cabins.

The ship is a marvellous piece of history loved by many travellers.

The M/S Stockholm was built in 1953 for the Swedish Maritime Administration, it is only in 1998 that she underwent a complete refurbishment. This will also mark the start of her career as a comfortable polar ship.

Build in Bergen in 1964 for the Norwegian Government, M/S Sjøveien is a classic ship with a modern touch.

She was used to train mariners between 1979 and 1995 before being in private ownership and turn into a hotel ship. She was then refurbished into an exclusive passenger ship, starting her career in Svalbard the summer of 2017.

The 50 Years of Victory is a purpose-built ship which originally took scientific and cargo ships to remote areas of the Arctic and the Northeast Passage. It is one of the most powerful nuclear icebreakers ever built with nuclear reactors generating up to 74,000 horsepower and a spoon-shaped bow allowing to break through three meters thick ice layers.

The MV Balto is the latest addition to Polar Quest's fleet of small expedition ships. Named after the leading sled dogs of 1925 Nome serum run. Built for the highest ice class in Rauma, Finland, she has now been refurbished into one of the most spacious and elegant small polar expedition vessels in service. Offering relaxed luxury accommodation for 12 guests in 7 outside cabins, all with private facilities and lower beds, the MV Balto truly is one-of-a-kind when it comes to small polar expedition ships. Travelling on this unique 12-passenger ship offers a completely different and much more intimate experience of Greenland compared to a large expedition ship.

The expedition ship Ocean Nova (sister ship to M/S Quest) was built in Denmark in 1992 and underwent a complete refurbishment in 2006. This small and comfortable expedition ship takes up to 78 passengers in twin and triple cabins, all with exterior views and en suite facilities. All cabins also have a desk with a chair and ample storage space for clothes and equipment.
