The original Fram was the most famous explorer ship of its time, and the achievements of her expeditions are unparalleled. MS Fram brings on the heritage of the original Fram, using the most advanced technology to make her exceptionally well suited for expedition voyages in Polar Regions.
Fram means ‘forward’ – lifting expectations of the voyage at hand. MS Fram was built in 2007 with one mission in mind – to bring her guests closer to nature, wildlife and unforgettable experiences. The spacious outside decks include access to the very front of the ship – a great place to observe marine wildlife.
Built for polar expeditions
The ship is purpose built as an expedition vessel with a higher ice-class, chart drawing tools, ship depth sounding database, extractable forward sounding sonar, iceberg search lights, autonomous tracking system, oversized oil retention system for self-sufficiency, and a full ‘expedition tools-deck’ equivalent to a car-deck that holds 25 vehicles. We believe that as an explorer you need an ‘expedition base-camp’ that is comfortable – something that combines ‘all oceans capabilities’ with safety, flexibility and environmental friendliness. That’s Fram – simply the best expedition ship imaginable.

About Punta Arenas
Punta Arenas is the southernmost city on Earth, overlooking the Straits of Magellan. Situated astride one of the world's historic trade routes, its prosperity has risen and fallen with that trade.Today, Punto Arenas reflects a great mix of cultures, from English sheep ranchers to Portuguese sailors, and it remains an utterly fascinating testament to the Chile's rich history. Punta Arenas is also the starting point for excursions to some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.
Punta Arenas Attractions
Once a stop for sailing ships rounding Cape Horn, Punta Arenas is the largest city in lower Patagonia. Local museums, housed in former mansions, honor the area´a cultural and natural history. Savor seafood specialties or seek out wood and shell carvings in the duty-free zone. Explore the town and its history and enjoy stunning views over the Strait of Magellan to fabled Tierra del Fuego. Discover the scenic Patagonian countryside and visit a local sheep farm. The highlight is the Magellanic penguin rookery at Otway Sound.
The Falklands are a remote and beautiful group of islands with a temperate climate, warm and friendly people of British decent, unbelievably rich wildlife, colorful homes and gardens, and a unique way of life. There is a surprising variety of scenery with rolling moorlands, grassy plains dotted with lakes, mountains over 2000 feet high, and a magnificent coastline with wide white beaches and dramatic bluffs.
Located in the Falkland Islands, West Point Island offers visitors dramatic and stunning coastal scenery of high cliffs, the highest of which is more than 1,200 feet tall. Many bird species call the island home, including albatross, Rockhopper penguins and Imperial Cormorants. The island’s gardens and impressive landscapers are ideal for hiking and taking photos.
Dramatic cliffs, windswept rolling hills and sandy beaches make a scenic home for the Falkland´s countless waterfowl and 2,000 hearty British descendents. Shop for woolens and crafts on Port Stanley´s main street or sample the diddle-dee jelly with afternoon tea.
Port Stanley Attractions
Good walkers can explore Stanley easily on foot. Major sites, such as t he cathedral, the museum at Britannia House and the Battle Memorial are included in the organized excursions; they also can be visited on your own. A stroll along a section of the waterfront will show you the hulks of old sailing ships. Key points are marked with interpretive signs.
The Antarctic Sound is a stretch of water named after the first ship to have passed through this body of water from the Bransfield Strait to the Weddell Sea in 1902. The Antarctic eventually sank and crew and scientists had to spend quite some time in this area before they could be rescued. Sites that have to do with this story - like Hope Bay or Paulet Island - are sometimes visited. At Paulet, Hope Bay and Brown Bluff Adelie and Gentoo Penguins breed, as do Kelp Gulls and Cape Petrels, Snow Petrels and Skuas. The Sound’s main attractions are the spectacular tabular icebergs that come from the Larsen Ice Shelf further south.
Some 770 kilometers (478 miles) south of Cape Horn, the South Shetland Islands are usually the first land seen in Antarctica. Separated from the Antarctic Peninsula by the Bransfield Strait, nine major islands make up the group. The region was the first to be exploited by sealers in the early 19th century, and because of its proximity to South America, it still is the most visited by scientists and tourists. Chinstrap, Adelie, Gentoo and Macaroni Penguins all breed here. In addition, because it is the warmest part of the continent, large moss beds as well as orange, black, grey and green lichens grow –even hair grass and pearlwort manage to survive. Leopard seals, Weddell seals, crabeater seals, Southern elephant seals and Antarctic fur seals can be seen in the water and on the beaches.
A famous body of water in the Antarctic Peninsula, The Gerlache Strait is a must see for many people visiting this part of the Antarctic on board an Antarctic Cruise due to its spiky blue icebergs, humpback whale spotting, snow and mountains. It can be found between Anvers Island and the Danco Coast and is usually visited en route to Neko Bay or the Lemaire Channel where ships cross the Antarctic Circle at 66 degress.
The Gerlache Strait is named after the Belgian Adrien de Gerlache, who explored the strait in 1898.

A Chilean naval base on Navarino Island. Navarino is home to virgin forests, snow covered mountains, massive glaciers and rich bird life. The island is unspoiled and offers exceptional hiking opportunities.
