Built as an icebreaker, the MS Polar Star has gone through a complete conversion into an arctic expedition cruise ship. She's outfitted with a dining room and bar, a large lounge, lecture room, and library. All cabins are outside and feature a window or porthole. The majority are double cabins with two lower berths. Two suites and four junior suites with queen-size berths are available. All staterooms are comfortable and cozy. She's equipped with an inviting dining room, a public lounge, a lecture hall, a small gym, library and bar.

Coziness is only part of the Nordstjernen's charm. Built for the Coastal Voyage fleet, The MS Nordstjernen was extensively modernized in 2000 for exclusive arctic sailing, yet still retains the aura of an old Atlantic cruiser. She is equipped with a dining room and bar, a cafe, a panoramic lounge and library. MS Nordstjernen has 55 cruise cabins, all with upper/lower berths. The cabins are not wheelchair accessible.
