A Milestone in Our All-Electric Fleet

MS Bard was a significant step forward in Brim Explorer’s mission to create purposeful, low-impact experiences at sea.

Carrying up to 145 guests, Bard shares the iconic design language of MS Brisen, but introduces key enhancements to improve comfort and performance. Its inclined bow and raised main deck offer greater stability and seakeeping, making it well-suited for both open waters and longer voyages.

What distinguishes MS Bard is its advanced propulsion system — fully electric, powered by Brim Tech high-torque engines paired with 1700mm fixed-pitch propellers. This setup eliminates the need for a traditional gearbox, allowing for smoother operation, improved energy efficiency, and near-silent cruising.

Inside, Bard offers the same hallmarks of a Brim Explorer experience: warm, panoramic saloons, spacious decks, and thoughtful design focused on guest comfort and environmental stewardship. It continues to serve as a core part of our fleet, delivering memorable journeys across the Norwegian coast with quiet strength and sustainable innovation.
