Why Book
MS Fram - HX
Overview
Built in 2007 and after a decade of exploring some of the most spectacular waters on our planet including Antarctica, MS Fram will receive a total makeover and re-emerge in 2020 as a brand-new expedition ship with new accommodation, public areas and dining venues and, more environmentally friendly engines. The spacious outdoor viewing decks bring you up close to nature and the Expedition Team further enhance your experience with lectures throughout the trip. Spend days afloat enjoying the tranquil atmosphere and relax on the sun deck which is the ideal place to take in the passing views. The rooftop sauna is a great place to unwind and relax, or take a dip in one of the bubbling hot Jacuzzis. Enjoy a work-out with a scenic passing view as you use the treadmills or bikes in the fitness room.
