Guides to Guests
Balto is a timeless expedition yacht
MS Balto is a beautifully refurbished small expedition vessel built to the highest ice-class standards. Originally constructed for government service in the Baltic Sea, she now offers a refined and spacious platform for polar exploration. Designed to reach fjord systems, remote anchorages and wild Arctic landscapes that larger ships cannot access, Balto combines true expedition capability with elegant comfort for intimate journeys.
What we love about Balto
A ship built for polar adventure
Balto’s strong ice-class hull and compact size make her ideal for exploring remote coastal regions and fjords, granting access to places few ships can reach.
Elegant spaces onboard
The richly appointed saloon, dining room and lounge feature classic wood paneling, a welcoming bar, library area, and relaxed social spaces to gather after a day ashore.
Flexible and intimate expedition experience
With just 12 guests onboard, Balto delivers an intimate and personalized voyage — offering flexibility to linger where the landscape captivates and time ashore to savour each moment.
Impressive outdoor vantage points
Multiple open and semi-enclosed deck spaces provide panoramic views of ice, wildlife and sea — perfect for photography, wildlife watching, and immersive polar moments.
Lounge, Saloon & Social Spaces
Balto’s comfortable lounge and saloon are the heart of onboard life — a warm and elegant setting to relax, enjoy meals, read, share stories and soak in the spirit of exploration.
Sauna
Relax after exploration in Balto’s onboard sauna, complete with a cold shower — a perfect way to unwind with panoramic views.
