The MS Quest

General Information
Our specially designed expedition ship has an ice-strengthened hull and state-of-the-art equipment to navigate safely through the ice and narrow waterways. This 160-foot, 1211-ton ship was built in Denmark in 1992 with the highest ice class to serve as a ferry on Greenland's west coast. In 2004/2005 she was completely refurbished to serve as a small and comfortable expedition ship. The MS Quest can carry 53 passengers in 26 cabins, all with sea views and private facilities.
Landings are made possible by a fleet of five zodiacs, accessed from the ship by a convenient hatch with no gangway to descend. Onboard, the bridge is always open to passengers, and in the panorama lounge you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the surrounding polar landscape. Here you can listen to entertaining lectures on the area's flora, fauna, history and glaciology as well as photographic techniques. In the lounge you also find a well-stocked bar and a small library. Meals prepared by an excellent European chef are served in a comfortable and spacious dining room, keeping us warm and full of energy for the next wildlife encounter.
Electrical Current and Outlets
The electrical current is 220 volts with European style twin prong plugs available in most rooms. Bring a suitable plug adapter for US equipment.
