M.S. Origo
General Information: The M/S Origo was built in 1955 at Finnboda Shipyard in Stockholm for the Swedish National Maritime Administration. In 1991, she started her career as a passenger ship and has been cruising in the Arctic waters of Svalbard every summer since. She is a unique vessel, having been kept to a high standard, and offers a marvellously "old world" charm. The atmosphere on board is ideal for those who enjoy a yacht-like ambience, and the Swedish officers and crew run a professional, yet relaxed and friendly ship.
Cabin Description: The Origo carries a maximum of 24 passengers in comfortable outside twin and superior cabins. All cabins except for the superior cabin have upper and lower berths. The superior cabin and two cabins on the main and lower deck have private baths. All other cabins on lower deck have shared facilities. See Deckplan
