VESTLAND ADVENTURER

The MV Vestland Adventurer was originally built in 1972 by Helsingør Skibsværft og Maskinbyggeri A/S
in Helsingør, Denmark, as a car/passenger ferry named Kattegat for Jydsk Færgefart A/S.
Over the years, the vessel operated under various companies, including P&O and Viking Line. In 2008, it was
acquired by Gap Adventures and renamed Expedition, following a major conversion from ferry to passenger
vessel at Aker Yard in Finland. It then began sailing in Arctic and Antarctic waters.
The ship has undergone several upgrades, including:
• Replacement of the main engines in 2015 (Genoa)
• Replacement of auxiliary generators in 2017 (Lisbon)
• Installation of a new propulsion and maneuvering system from Kongsberg in 2022
In 2025, the vessel was purchased by Vestland Classic (Norway) and continues to operate in polar regions.
With Ice Class B certification, the robust ship accommodates up to 130 guests and offers global voyages
with high safety redundancy.
