Her design lends itself to navigating through the ice, while her previous life as a weather ship left her with an advanced stabilisation system; unusual in a ship of this size.

This is pure Arctic expedition! Our small ship gives us the flexibility to explore anywhere in the region.  During your Arctic safari you can expect to visit ice-filled fjords framed by breath-taking snow-capped peaks. Along side stunning landscapes you may have the opportunity to witness polar bears as they hunt for seals, spot walrus basking in the sun and see whales breaching in the icy seas. On shore you may come across Arcticfox, Svalbard reindeer and beautiful Arctic flora. On board join your guides to learn about this beautiful fragile environment, its incredible history full of Arctic expeditions stories, whilst learning how to best protect it.

Dwellings

There are six guest cabins on board, all with double or twin beds and all with ensuite bathrooms. The hub of the ship is the Coriolis Lounge, a great place to socialise with your fellow passengers and also where talks are given by our guides.

Despite carrying only 12 passengers, there are all the amenities you would normally only find on a much bigger ship, such as an outdoor hot tub and windowed sauna offering views of the polar landscape while you stay in the warm. The navigation bridge is open during your adventure, and a great place from which to spot wildlife.

Small-Boat Freedom
Just a handful of guests aboard a true expedition vessel — the scale needed to enter narrow fjords, icelined bays, and wildlife corridors larger ships simply cannot reach.

Led by the Wilderness
Polar bears patrolling the floes, walrus hauled out on ice pans, whales cutting through glassy channels — each encounter shaped by the rhythms of the Arctic, not an itinerary.

Open Bridge Culture
Guests shoulder-to-shoulder with the captain, reading ice, charting fjords, scanning for wildlife. Expedition as collaboration, not observation.

Signature elements

Expert Guides
A seasoned expedition team translating the Arctic’s wildlife, geology, and climate narratives — paired with Polarfront’s minimalist footprint and responsible exploration ethic.

Slow Luxury at Sea
Nordic design, warm textures, quiet cabins, and a ship that feels more like a private lodge than an expedition vessel.

Remote Destinations
Midnight sun stretching across the horizon, drifting sea ice, vast polar silence.
