Elegant Cruises & Tours

ms Andrea

Andrea

The 107 passenger Andrea offers spacious suites and cabins equipped with the most modern amenities and in the distinctive interior design of the 17 century Scandinavian Gustavian style. She offers a 4 star plus comfort while providing to our discerning clients the adventure and excitement of expedition cruising.

The m/s Andrea was previously a Norwegian Coastal passenger vessel operating a year-round scheduled service to remote regions of the Norwegian Fjords and coastline with freezing temperatures and sea ice. She was specifically engineered to handle such a challenging route and is an outstandingly strong and remarkably swift ship. Keeping in mind the requirements of our discerning clients, we have matched her technical capabilities with an elegant 17th century Scandinavian furnishings for the added comfort.

The Andrea divides her time between the Adriatic, Antarctica, the Caribbean, and South America. Her itineraries are interesting, a little adventurous, and always educational.
