MS Bremen, is a cruise ship operated by Hapag-Lloyd Cruises GmbH since 1993. She was built as Frontier Spirit at the Mitsubishi Shipyard, Kobe, Japan, in 1990. During a storm in the Southern Atlantic in March 2001, a rogue wave caused heavy damage, even breaking a window on the bridge. It left the ship adrift for two hours without propulsion.[3] A previously uncharted island in the Antarctic was discovered by Bremen in 2003, and was named Bremen Island in 2004. Bremen was also featured in the TV show .

In 2006 she successfully ran the Northwest Passage,[4] helped by satellite images telling where sea ice was.

In July 2018, a crew member shot and killed a polar bear in the Svalbard archipelago. The company claimed that the incident could not have been avoided and was an act of self-defense.[5]

In January 2019 the ship was sold to Scylla AG with a planned handover date of May 2021.[6] In July 2020, Hapag Lloyd Cruises announced that Bremen is chartered to Havila Kystruten.[7] She was renamed Seaventure in 2020.[8]
