With a guest capacity of 250, MS Fram was HX Expeditions’ first purpose-built polar expedition ship, designed with cutting-edge technology for Arctic and Antarctic exploration. Fully upgraded in 2022, it remains a favourite among guests for its advanced expedition tools, including an extractable forward-sounding sonar and an oversized oil retention system for self-sufficiency.
Now, MS Fram is set to undergo a refurbishment to enhance guest accommodations, public areas and crew facilities. This includes a new science centre, cabin refurbishments, dining experience enhancements, plus additional guest and crew upgrades. All Polar Cabins will be upgraded with new bathrooms.
The refurbishment work will take place this April in Panama dry dock, with the ‘new look’ available to guests starting 26 May 2025.
With a guest capacity of 220, MS Spitsbergen will undergo a series of upgrades designed to enhance comfort, accessibility, and operational efficiency.
These encompass a new science centre, cabin and public space updates, a new Brygge Bistro, accessibility improvements and crew enhancements.
