HMS Gassten

HMS Gåssten, moored in the picturesque fishing village of Henningsvær in Norway’s Lofoten Islands, is a remarkable blend of history and modern luxury. Originally a Swedish naval minesweeper, this oak-hulled vessel has been meticulously refurbished into a cosy adventure cruiser, offering a unique holiday accommodation experience like no other.
The ship’s quarters feature four beautifully appointed cabins, retaining the charm of the original exposed oak beams and brass fittings, while offering modern amenities like ensuite bathrooms and USB ports. The saloon, added during the refurbishment, serves as a warm and inviting communal space, perfect for recounting daily adventures or simply relaxing.
Guests on HMS Gåssten can enjoy a variety of activities in the surrounding area, including hiking, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing, with equipment readily available onboard. The Lofoten archipelago, known for its dramatic landscapes and spectacular Northern Lights, provides a stunning backdrop for these adventures, and is a real delight for budding photographers. Culinary delights prepared by a talented chef, featuring local and Nordic influences, complete the onboard experience. Whether exploring the natural beauty of Lofoten or relaxing on deck, HMS Gåssten promises an unforgettable blend of adventure and comfort.
