12 Guests6 Ports1 Horizon

Aboard MS Kestrel

Five decks. One horizon.

Scroll through the ship, deck by deck — from the open teak of the Sun Deck down to the Bridge, where the course for tomorrow gets set tonight.

05

Sun Deck

Open air, 360° horizon

The highest point on the ship — a teak-decked expanse with loungers, a heated plunge pool and an unobstructed view in every direction. Where mornings begin with coffee and the first sighting of land.

04

Observation Lounge

Glass, brass, and charts

A wraparound glass lounge with a small library, a chart table where the day's course is pinned each morning, and the ship's only bar — poured by people who know your name by the second night.

03

Cabins

Six suites, twelve guests

Six cabins, each with a private balcony or picture window facing the water. No interior rooms, no exceptions — every guest wakes up to the sea.

02

Dining Room

One seating, one table

A single long table run by a chef who shops the ports we call at. Breakfast is whenever you wake; dinner is whenever the catch comes in.

01

Bridge

Open-bridge policy

Unlike most ships this size, our bridge is open to guests at almost any hour. Come watch the captain thread a fjord, or just ask why the water changes colour.

The flagship route

Northern Fjords

The flagship route: a slow climb up the Norwegian coast through UNESCO fjords, past waterfalls that fall straight into the sea, and into the Arctic gateway of Tromsø.
