Once a Norwegian weather ship built to brave the Arctic in the 1970s, Polarfront has been transformed through an ambitious eco-conscious refit into a rare expedition yacht that fuses heritage, craftsmanship, and modern innovation. Retaining her original steel hull, she embodies the authenticity and resilience of a bygone era, reimagined through contemporary design and sustainable innovation. Her hybrid-engine upgrade has cut fuel consumption and emissions by over 40%, marking a bold step toward sustainable polar exploration while enhancing onboard comfort and safety.
Her retro-modern interiors blend Scandinavian minimalism with warm, understated luxury. Eight spacious cabins accommodate up to 12 guests, attended by a dedicated crew of 11, including two expert guides and a French chef whose refined, locally inspired cuisine elevates every meal into an experience. The Coriolis Lounge forms the social heart of the yacht, a gathering space for conversation, lectures, and storytelling led by naturalists and explorers.
The large deck spaces which are ideal for wildlife spotting, together with the hot tub and a Finnish sauna, create a rare balance of adventure and indulgence.
Whether you’re passionate about ski touring, drawn to icy landscapes, or on the hunt for the Arctic’s ‘big five’: polar bears, walrus, seals, reindeer and Arctic foxes, an expedition aboard Polarfront promises an unforgettable experience.
