Hurtigruten has a long history of travelling to Spitsbergen, beginning in 1896 with the `Sports Route´. MS Spitsbergen is sailing all year round as one of our Expedition ships. After complete reconstruction, MS Spitsbergen joined the Hurtigruten fleet in 2016. The ship features high technical standards as well as comfortable, modern public areas and cabins. The vessel´s fresh Scandinavian design reflects a colour palette derived from the sea. She is modern and environmentally progressive, and we plan further improvements that will reduce emissions and fuel consumption even more. The new ship’s maneuverability and optimal size make her quite suitable for exploring polar waters. #### Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Passenger Capacity | 335 | | Crew | 65 | | Gross Tonnage | 7,344.0 | | Length | 331.0 ft | | Total Cabins | 100 | ## Ports of Call ### Bergen *Coordinates: 60.3881, 5.33185* Bergen is surrounded by seven mountains, and one of the most popular attractions of the world: the fjords.
