The Polar Travel Company

The original Fram was the most famous explorer ship of its time, and the achievements of her expeditions are unparalleled.

� Tomas Mauch

MS Fram honors the heritage of the original Fram, using the most advanced technology and making her exceptionally well suited for expedition voyages in polar regions.

Built for polar expeditions
The ship is purpose built as an expedition vessel with a higher ice-class, chart drawing tools, ship depth sounding database, extractable forward sounding sonar, iceberg search lights, autonomous tracking system, oversized oil retention system for self-sufficiency, and a full �expedition tools-deck� equivalent to a car-deck that holds 25 vehicles. We believe that as an explorer you need an �expedition base-camp� that is comfortable � something that combines �all oceans capabilities� with safety, flexibility and environmental friendliness. That�s Fram � simply the best expedition ship imaginable.
