Swoop Video Review: Fridtjof Nansen
Why we like this ship
- The competitively priced ship's expansive interior comfortably welcomes up to 500 passengers across a range of spacious outside cabins, half of which have private balconies
- A one-of-a-kind science centre features a range of microscopes, large screens for showcasing gathered samples and even some skeletal replicas of polar wildlife
- Fun art workshops allow you to produce clay, ink and paint creations inspired by your Antarctic travels
- Enjoy wellness facilities such as an outdoor walking track, window-lined saunas, outdoor hot tubs and a plunge pool – all with mesmerising polar views
- Three onboard restaurants mean there’s always a meal to please your palate
- This quiet, hybrid-powered ship is plastic-free, reducing its impact on the environment
We think it's worth noting
- As a bilingual ship, announcements are made in English first, then German
- The ship doesn't have an open bridge policy, though there is usually the chance for a short tour at some point in your expedition
