Polar Tours is thrilled to introduce the Hans Hansson, a true expedition ship that stands apart from all our other vessels. Originally built as a life-saving vessel in Norway and later purchased by Sweden, Hans Hansson was specifically designed to withstand the challenging waters of the infamous North Sea. Now transformed into a rugged explorer, she takes passengers to the most remote and breathtaking corners of the world. At 26 meters in length, Hans Hansson offers an intimate experience, accommodating up to 12 passengers in cozy, well-appointed cabins that provide all the essential comforts needed for an expedition. The ship’s sturdy hull, perfectly suited for navigating Antarctic waters, makes her an ideal platform for whale watching, iceberg spotting, and capturing incredible photos. Small and maneuverable, Hans Hansson can venture into places that larger ships simply cannot reach, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a raw, immersive experience. This is truly the perfect expedition ship for true nature lovers as well as avid photographers!

I had an excellent scientific expedition on the Hans Hansson thanks to Quixote! I am a PhD candidate studying penguin population trends, and really benefitted from Quixote's program bringing scientists on the cruises to do research. The crew was very capable and knowledgable and went above and beyond to get me to the penguin colonies I needed to conduct my research. I also enjoyed living on the ship and talking to the guests. I can't wait to return to Antarctica on the Ocean Tramp next season for more research!

Travelled with Quixote Expeditions to the Chilean Fjords. It was an amazing and unique experience being on such a small and private vessel instead of a large ship. Due to the size we were able to go to lesser known areas and I felt like I was an original explorer! It felt special to support a small business who really care about you. The days were flexible depending on weather and what we wanted to do- from hiking, sailing, searching for wildlife or cooking with ingredients caught from the sea or glacial ice for our drinks! Bathing in a fresh water glacial shower was a rush! The owners are passionate about the education and sustainability. I was able to participate in citizen science and collect water samples in tiny corners of the world which would be analyzed for microplastics. It was not just a vacation but as special meaningful experience. Would highly recommend Quixote expeditions and I hope to travel with them to Antarctica!

Le M/S Balto est nommé en l'honneur du légendaire chien de traîneau qui a mené la course au sérum de Nome en 1925, symbolisant l'endurance et la bravoure. Construit à l'origine à Rauma, en Finlande, pour le service gouvernemental dans la mer Baltique, ce remarquable navire a été construit selon les normes les plus strictes de la classe glace.

Le M/S Balto est conçu pour vous emmener au plus profond des systèmes de fjords les plus éloignés, visiter des colonies inuites isolées et jeter l'ancre dans des endroits secrets et vierges.
