Photo of MS Maud

The luxury MS Maud takes its name from one of the most famous polar vessels of all time, the MS Maud which was sailed by Roald Amundsen in 1917. The ship is one of the more modern in Antarctic waters and the interior is beautifully bright and colorful with many pieces of modern art dotted throughout the ship.

One of the highlights of the ship is the two story panoramic lounge that lets in huge amounts of light and allows passengers to never miss a single sight! Another highlight of the MS Maud is its large deck area with jacuzzi.
