MS Spitsbergen is named after the crown jewel of Arctic Norway – the Svalbard archipelago and its biggest island, Spitsbergen. HX Hurtigruten Expeditions has a long history of travelling to Spitsbergen, beginning in 1896 with the 'Sports Route'.
After a complete reconstruction, MS Spitsbergen joined the HX Hurtigruten Expeditions fleet in 2016. The ship features high technical standards as well as comfortable, modern public areas and cabins. She is modern and environmentally progressive and will undergo further improvements that will reduce emissions and fuel consumption even more. The new ship’s maneuverability and optimal size make her quite suitable for exploring polar waters.
Since 1896, we’ve been taking curious travelers on mindful expeditions to the most remote and awe-inspiring places on the planet. Today we invite you to join us on an expedition with HX – and change the way you see the world.
To travel with HX is to open yourself to a world of awe. From cultural encounters to wildlife wonders, what you see and learn on your trip will inspire and energize you. And when you come back home, you’ll have a deeper, richer love of the planet we all share.
Every day, handpicked experts from a range of fields will lead you on discoveries onshore and onboard including hikes, community visits, kayaking, talks, and more.
