MS Fram Pics From Aboard The Ship From Cynthia Hill, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
From FOB Cynthia Hill-
Hi cutie,
Totally wonderful to see you today…..sorry, nobody could visit the bridge today, as the Coasties were aboard, in deep discussion with the Captain, but I did take a few pictures – poor ones, but pictures none the less.
This is an exploration ship, spending most of her time in and around the Arctic Circle, Greenland and the Antarctica – this is a repositioning cruise, which is generally lower in cost, to get the ship to South America to begin the winter season in Antartica.
The FRAM’s skipper, Captain Arnvid Hansen was the captain who rescued 154 passengers from MS Explorer, after she hit an iceberg and sank in 2007. Captain Hansen was the skipper of the Nordnorge at the time, and executed a perfect recovery, saving all involved.
The FRAM was built two years ago, and can hold 391 passengers. The furnishings are crisp,bright and have the clean lines of typical Scandinavian style.  Have attached a few pictures, including, Capt. Joey’s, from the Observation Lounge.
Sorry, Joey….I know you wanted the bridge.
See you next week,
Hugs,
Cynthia
Good Morning Gloucester
