In 2024, our company operates three liveaboard boats: MS Sula, MS Bergsund, and MS Sjöveien. While MS Sula and MS Bergsund offer similar standards and pricing, MS Sjöveien distinguishes itself with higher luxury and cost. Despite these differences, all boats follow the same daily program and collaborate during orca searches.

MS Sula features cabins with bunk beds, most of which have sinks and portholes, though none have private bathrooms. Shared facilities include two toilets, two showers, and a hot tub.


MS Bergsund also offers cabins with bunk beds, all equipped with sinks and portholes. Like MS Sula, there are no private bathrooms, but the boat has five toilets, five showers, and a hot tub.


MS Sjöveien provides a more luxurious experience, with suites, private bathrooms, and a larger crew, offering greater comfort at a higher price.
