About Polar Star

Polar Star Expeditions was a specialty adventure cruise company owned by Karlsen Shipping Company Ltd. out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. In 2001, Polar Star began operating a single expedition cruise ship, MV Polar Star, a 87-metre (284 ft) converted Swedish icebreaker with 105 berths. The company conducted cruises mainly in the northern and southern polar and sub-polar regions. In 2010, its only vessel lost one of its engines and had to operate part of that season on the remaining functional engine. In January 2011, the vessel suffered serious grounding damage in the Antarctic, which led to the failure of the parent company.
