MS Quest

The smallest expedition ship in our polar fleet, M/S Quest offers an intimate polar experience.

Maximum passengers: 53

Carrying just 53 passengers, the benefits of cruising on a small ship such as the M/S Quest include the chance to get to know everyone on board, more personal wildlife encounters and maximising time ashore with quicker Zodiac boarding. Travelling amongst fewer people also enhances the feeling of solitude as you explore some of the remotest corners of the planet.

M/S Quest was originally built in Denmark in 1992 and served as a ferry on Greenland’s west coast for over a decade. In 2004/05 she was completely renovated and now has a career as an intimate and comfortable expedition ship, most recently refurbished in 2018. Facilities on board the ship include spacious observation decks and a panorama lounge to ensure you can always enjoy the view, whether outside or inside. In the lounge you will find a well-stocked bar and a small library.
