Freya
Ship overview:
Originally a lighthouse-building vessel, we love the Freya’s mixture of working ship roots and enduring capability and cosiness as an expedition ship. Whether it’s spotting wildlife from the bridge, breaking bread together in the convivial saloon-style dining room, or relaxing in the on-deck hot tub, the Freya offers a uniquely intimate home-from-home in the ice.

Swoop says
The first impression which hits you about Freya is its homeliness. The care, attention and love invested by the Swedish family who owns her is present at every turn, and immediately you feel at home.
