Some vessels are built for the open ocean. Others are built for somewhere far beyond it. VIKINGFJORD began life as a Norwegian research vessel, and her conversion into a boutique expedition yacht has only deepened that sense of purpose. Rebuilt from the ground up around the guest experience, she carries just 12 passengers into some of the world's most extraordinary and rarely visited landscapes — the Arctic, where the ice meets the horizon and few vessels dare to go. Thoughtfully reimagined and exceptionally well equipped, VIKINGFJORD is expedition travel at its most intimate.

Accommodation

Twelve guests are accommodated in ensuite cabins that offer genuine comfort at the edge of the world. The scale is deliberately intimate — small enough to feel like a private charter, large enough to bring the right people together. With experienced crew on hand throughout, every aspect of the journey is carefully considered.

Interior / Exterior

The open-plan panoramic lounge and restaurant sit at the heart of the vessel, a warm and sociable space where the views outside are as much a part of the experience as what is happening within. On deck, a sauna and hot pool offer a remarkable contrast — steam rising into Arctic air, the silence of the wilderness all around.

VIKINGFJORD is also one of the most environmentally responsible small expedition vessels operating in the Arctic, with new systems delivering a 95% reduction in NOx emissions alongside meaningful gains in fuel efficiency. Exploring responsibly has never felt so considered.

Water Sports

Two Zodiacs provide the means to go further still — landing on remote shores, threading through iceberg fields, and getting closer to wildlife than any other format of travel allows.

An ice-strengthened hull allows VIKINGFJORD to navigate pack ice with confidence, opening coastlines and channels that remain entirely beyond reach for conventional vessels. A large mud room and ample equipment storage ensure that every excursion begins and ends without fuss. The Arctic is waiting.
