MS Spitsbergen cruise ship

HX Expeditions:   MS Spitsbergen

Named after the largest island in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago, MS Spitsbergen offers expedition cruising at its most intimate and immersive. With a smaller capacity and enhanced manoeuvrability, this nimble ship can reach secluded landing sites few others can — making it ideal for exploring remote coasts and narrow fjords.
Rebuilt in 2016 and extensively refurbished in 2025, MS Spitsbergen combines modern expedition capability and adaptability with elegance and simplicity. With space for just 150 guests, she offers a relaxed, intimate atmosphere that speaks to Scandinavian style — and the agility to access remote places larger ships can’t.
