Svalbard (Spitsbergen)
€5,040
M/S Quest : with a capacity of just 53 passengers, is one of the smallest expedition vessels still in operation, giving her a strong advantage over many larger ships in the High Arctic. Purpose built to explore the raw coasts of Greenland, in 2018 she underwent renovation to provide a platform for Arctic -wide exploration in a professional yet informal atmosphere.
Her knowledgeable and passionate expedition team are often the focus of wonderful client feedback. A strong comaradarie quickly develops onboard amid a small group of like-minded guests. In true expedition spirit explorers are invited off the ship twice daily for expert guided walks and close encounters with wildlife.
