A warm, wood-panelled casino on deck 7 with slots, blackjack and roulette, and a fireplace lounge beside the tables. It is open only to guests aged 18 or over who hold a cruise + casino ticket. The number of casino tickets on each sailing is limited, and so is the number of guests inside at one time.
- 60 slot machines, 6 blackjack tables, 3 roulette tables
- Open 20:00–01:00, no more than 60 guests at a time
- Casino tickets are sold before departure only, never on board
Gambling can be addictive. Decide on a limit before you play and treat any loss as the cost of the evening. Help and our casino rules are on the responsible gaming page.
The voyage
From 60° to 71° north in six nights
Kumashiroya Polar Cruise is for travellers who want the real north: fjord sail-ins at breakfast, lectures on polar bears and whales, a top-deck sky watch and evenings in a bar carved from ice.
We leave Bergen in the evening light, wake up inside Geirangerfjord, cross the Arctic Circle on our day at sea and spend a long day in Tromsø before reaching Honningsvåg, the harbour for the North Cape plateau. Then the ship turns south for a slow sea day and an early breakfast back in Bergen.
- MS Polar Bear Majesty, built 2016, 900 cabins
- Shore time in Geiranger, Tromsø and Honningsvåg, with glacier walks and guided fjord kayaking
- You sleep on board every night: there are no hotel stays on this route
