MS Fram

The Fram, owned by Hurtigruten of Norwegian coastal voyage fame, called into St Peter Port this afternoon after spending the morning with her guests visiting the Island of Sark. She is on her "Great Easter Voyage" from Lisbon to Bergen. This cruise is part of her positioning journey from Antarctica where her spends the southern summer, via South America, the Canary Islands the Azores and  Maderia, finishing in Bergen. In the northern summer she will cruise around Norway, Iceland and Greenland.


Showing off her new colours this time with her destinations shown around her topworks, she anchored close to St Peter Port where her tenders made a very short journey into the harbour. She made the headlines in January last year when she got stuck in ice in the Antarctic Sound and had to be rescued by the Royal Navy's HMS Protector. MS Fram is a polar built expedition ship with a ice strengthened hull.
