5 MV Fram Hurtigruten s expedition ship FRAM was launched in 2007 with the aim to bring her guests closer to nature, wildlife and unforgettable experiences. She s large enough to provide stability, ample public space and comfortable accommodations, and yet small enough to sail in remote areas and get you close to the action. FRAM generally carries less than 250 guests, so you are sure to get to know many of your fellow travellers. Observation Lounge At the top of the ship, the Panorama Lounge has floor-toceiling windows, giving you incredible views. Restaurant The restaurant is located at the aft of the ship, and on your way there you walk through an exhibition of original artifacts from the historic polar expeditions of Amundsen and Nansen. Outside Decks Spacious outside decks include access to the very front of the ship, a great place to observe marine wildlife. Cabins Cabins all have private facilities with shower, washbasin and WC, refrigerator and room safe. As a general rule, outside accommodations on the higher decks have a picture window while those on lower decks have large round windows. Resident Lecturers You ll sail with a dedicated, passionate and knowledgeable expedition team. Facilities A 24-hour tea and coffee station, library, lecture rooms, gym, sauna, and heated Jacuzzis complete the picture. Furlongs Travel favourite Widely accepted as one of the most modern expedition ships afloat, FRAM has become a firm favourite with Furlongs Travel guests.
