Active Travel Adventures podcast I Inspiring Multi-Day Adventure Trips Around the World

Hurtigruten's MS Fram : Expedition Ship Behind the Scenes Take a peek behind the scenes of a polar expedition ship, Hurtigruten's MS Fram, the ship I recently took on my three week expedition to Antarctica and the Falkland and South Georgia Islands. I wondered how they made things operate so smoothly when we were so far from civilization and a hardward store for parts, a grocery store for food, and a water or sewage treatment plant for our daily necesities. Today, we explore the Bridge, where the Captain and crew navigate, the Kitchen, the Engine Room, the Expdition's Tender Pit, and the Crew Quarters. It's a fascinating journey! Visit the website to see photos and get more Behind the Scenes details, and to see and hear about my amazing Antarctic expedition! Learn more about Hurtigruten's outstanding expeditions HERE.
