Sustainability Commitment
MS Brisen is the first fully electric vessel in the Brim Explorer fleet, a milestone in our journey toward truly sustainable tourism. As our third ship, Brisen was adapted from a proven and beloved design, then reimagined with electric propulsion to meet the specific needs of Oslo’s urban fjord.
Built to operate silently through Norway´s fjords, Brisen embodies our co-founders commitment sustainable tourism. With panoramic views, modern Scandinavian comfort and zero-emission technology, MS Brisen shows how innovation and adaptation can come together to create meaningful, responsible experiences at sea.
Main Deck – The Social Heart of Your Event
The main deck of MS Brisen is where your experience begins. Guests enter directly onto this level, which offers comfortable lounge seating for up to 60 people. It features two TV screens, a full projector setup, and a built-in sound system, perfect for speeches, presentations, or background ambience. This deck is also home to the main bar, two bathrooms (including an accessible toilet), and a central staircase leading up to the second deck and our intimate chambre séparée. With panoramic views and a warm, modern design, the main deck is ideal for seated dinners, mingling, and shared moments.
Second Deck – Elevated and Open to the Fjord
The second deck offers both privacy and perspective. It includes a dedicated chambre séparée for smaller gatherings or VIP seating, plus direct access to the shared spacious outdoor terrace. In summer, the terrace comes alive with its own outdoor bar - ideal for open-air cocktails and sunset celebrations. Indoors, you’ll find a projector, sound system, and two standard bathrooms, making this level equally functional and flexible. The terrace also connects directly to the top viewing deck, a third-level platform with sweeping views over the Oslo fjord, perfect for fresh air breaks and photo opportunities.
Sleek, refined, and effortlessly resonant, the Yamaha GB1 flygel (baby grand) isn’t just an instrument, it’s an experience. Perfectly at home aboard MS Brisen, its smooth tones and compact design mirror the very essence of Brim Explorer: clean lines, quiet power, and elevated simplicity.
Whether accompanying an smooth dinner, a private performance, or simply adding atmosphere to the Oslofjord skyline, the baby grand brings depth and beauty to every moment. Just like our vessel, it’s crafted to impress, without ever needing to shout.
Whether you’re planning a summer party on the terrace or an intimate evening event indoors, MS Brisen is ready to move with the music. Our mobile DJ booth can be set up on the main deck or outside on the second-level terrace, depending on the mood and the weather. With a high-quality sound system integrated into the vessel and adaptable lighting, your event can shift seamlessly from laid-back lounge to lively dance floor. From disco nights to curated playlists, we make it easy to create the atmosphere you want, wherever you want it.
