The Vessel

The Expedition Vessel: M/S Tulu

Purpose-built for the Arctic, the M/S Tulu prioritizes space, comfort, and function over capacity. Her interior is well maintained and practical: cabins are comfortable, shared facilities are clean and efficient, and the dining area, framed by large windows, serves as the center of life onboard.

For Divers

Tulu delivers where it matters: a solid diving platform in Arctic waters, modern navigation and safety systems, and a crew with decades of experience in Greenland’s coastal seas. A heated container known as “the shack” holds hanging drysuits and a workbench for gear, while outside, dive benches make donning and doffing your kit simple.

Shared Home at Sea

Tulu becomes a shared home at sea. Her intimate scale and welcoming interior foster camaraderie and focus, creating an ideal base for an expedition built on trust and shared purpose.
