MS Kvitungen, Svalbard, Norway
A Cruise Ship in Norway
Camp Details
Built in Norway, MS Kvitungen was specifically constructed to traverse the challenging pack ice along Greenland’s east coast. Over the years, it has served various logistical roles in the Arctic. Starting in 2025, MS Kvitungen will operate in cooperation with Arctic Wildlife Tours, focusing primarily on pack ice expeditions.
MS Kvitungen is expertly crafted for sailing in dense pack ice. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered: both rudder and propeller are reinforced and protected from moving ice, and the hull is constructed as a genuine ice-breaker. However, Arctic expeditions are not only about technical specifications—they are about people. As a Norwegian ship with a Norwegian crew, the captain and officers bring decades of experience operating vessels in pack ice. Together with the seasoned guides from Arctic Wildlife Tours, they will lead you to the most remote corners of the Arctic Ocean, far removed from other ships.
WHY CHOOSE MS KVITUNGEN?
- Unmatched Capabilities for Arctic Adventures
- Specialized Design for Expedition Excellence
- A robust expedition vessel, perfectly suited for wildlife photographers seeking genuine adventure and access to the heart of Arctic action.
