A fine drop on a grand voyage: The
MS Fram Whisky Project
The
MS Fram expedition ship is currently loaded with two barrels of 21- and
25-year-old single malt whisky, which it is transporting from one end of the
world to the other - a
process that is said to refine the noble Scottish drop even further. After crossing the Antarctic Circle, the ship
will head north to Greenland and Spitsbergen, with en-route stops scheduled in
Scotland where the whisky was first produced.
The topic ‘whisky and its
origin’ are covered in two voyages on-board MS Fram in April and May. Both start in the Norwegian city of Bergen
with the 12-day “British Isles in the Spring”
(24.04. – 05.05.2014) journey covering Scotland, Ireland and England, while “The
Viking Route” (13. – 25.05.2014), lasts 13 days, and visits Scotland, the Faroe
Islands and Iceland.
Both journeys are
accompanied by Scottish lecturer and whisky expert Bernard McGee, who will share
his knowledge of single malt scotch whisky and arrange some tastings during the
voyage.
Prices for ‘’The
Viking Route’ voyage start from £2,474 per person, based on two people sharing
an inside cabin on full board basis. Flights and transfers are available for an
additional cost.
