HX Expeditions' Spitsbergen has a new eatery and science center upon completion of the ship's refurbishment.
The new informal dining space is called Brygga Bistro and serves snacks and light meals in the mid-morning, afternoon and late evening. It is on Deck 5 and offers table service.
The science center is on Deck 6 and includes a lecture space, library, citizen science workstations and interactive screens. It also has interpreter systems for language accessibility.
The Explorer Lounge and Bar received a refresh with new seating, and the bar now serves HX's 14 new cocktails.
When HX Expeditions got new investors and separated from Hurtigruten, HX committed to renovating the Fram and Spitsbergen. Those renovated ships have new exterior colors.
The Spitsbergen has a 220-guest capacity and is sailing the Arctic this summer.
