Under the power of sail, explore the pristine waters and imposing landscapes of the high latitudes. Onboard the 68-foot expedition yachts and over land by foot, we will guide you to some of the most remote, untouched natural environments on the planet during a seemingly endless summer, with long days and short nights. Experience the thrill of navigating past icebergs, marvel at majestic wildlife and catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis.

HEAR FROM PAST EXPLORERS
All guidance and instruction on helming was done in a calm, constructive and instructive manner. I got a lot from this aspect of the trip. Course planning to suit weather/sea conditions and log maintenance briefings were effective and beneficial.
Seeing the Northern Lights from the helm at night was almost enough. Seeing the low sun on the ocean with snow capped mountains beyond has to be experienced, no photographs do it justice, especially when some of those mountains turn out to be icebergs.
It was an adventure of a lifetime, and I would eagerly look forward to participating in another one in the future. Additionally, the friendships I forged during this expedition are something I value immensely; they truly feel like they are going to be for a lifetime.
