M/S Balto
M/S Balto is a tough expedition ship constructed in 1975 in Finland to the highest ice-class standards. She is 40 meters long and 9 meters wide.
She is named after the legendary lead sled dog of the 1925 Nome Serum run. Following a comprehensive refit in 2022, she was transformed into an elegant ship, combining classic style with serious expedition capability.
Balto comfortably accommodates 12 guests in a cozy atmosphere and our 10 experienced and friendly crew will make you feel right at home.
Guest Cabins
Balto has 7 spacious cabins as 3 deluxe twins, 1 deluxe double, 2 deluxe singles and 1 deluxe suite. All are with private bathrooms, lower beds and minimum 1 porthole.
The deluxe suite is extra spacious at 23m2 with a sofa arrangement and 6 windows on the maindeck.
Restaurant, Lounge & Sauna
The richly appointed saloon and dining messroom are finished in classic crotch-mahogany panelling and feature a bar, small library, and coffee and tea station. These welcoming spaces are designed for shared meals, expedition briefings, and to relax after spending our days searching for whales.
A small onboard sauna with shower offers welcome relaxation after spending the day on the ocean.
Zodiacs
On all of our ships, we run 2 zodiacs with one in-water guide and one skipper on each. The zodiacs are app. six meters long and licensed for 12 persons, but we limit numbers to max 6 guests to keep the groups small and provide you the best encounters.
Equipment room
You will have a private space for hanging your suit and storing gear in a heated and ventilated room inside the ship. So your gear will be dry and warm for you to put on every morning.
