M/S Balto

A high ice-class polar expedition yacht for twelve guests, named after the lead sled dog of the 1925 Nome serum run.

History

Built to the highest ice class standards in Rauma, Finland, she originally served as a government service ship in the Baltic Sea.

Between 2019 and 2022 she underwent a complete refurbishment and is now one of the most spacious and elegant small polar expedition yachts in service.

M/S Balto offers relaxed accommodation for 12 guests in 7 spacious cabins, all with private facilities and lower beds: one Owner's Cabin, one Superior Cabin, three double cabins and two single cabins. The Owner's Cabin is 30 m², with six windows and a queen bed; the Superior Cabin has two twin beds.

The guest deck has a small sauna with a shower. The saloon and dining messroom are panelled in crotch mahogany, with a bar, a library and coffee and tea stations. The crew is international and the bridge is open to visitors.
