Ski Every Day
Prepare for an unparalleled winter adventure in the Arctic with a remarkable seven-night expedition departing from Tromsø, Norway, on February 18, 2027.
This unique voyage offers the exhilarating opportunity to ski down a different Arctic slope each day, directly from the ship's deck. Beyond the thrill of downhill skiing, your days can be filled with a variety of engaging activities designed to immerse you in the Arctic environment. Imagine paddling through serene, snow-covered fjords, trying your hand at fishing for your evening meal, setting out to observe wild reindeer in their natural habitat, or exploring the breathtaking polar landscapes on guided snowshoe treks. This itinerary is crafted for those who crave active engagement and a profound connection with the wild.
Eco-Conscious Vessel
This groundbreaking sailing is part of a new fleet of five expeditions planned for 2027, all operating aboard an innovative expedition sailing vessel set to launch early next year. This state-of-the-art ship is designed with environmental sustainability at its core, boasting impressive credentials such as the ability to run on wind and solar power for up to 90 percent of the time. It also adheres to a strict zero-waste policy while at sea, minimizing its ecological footprint. Among its advanced features are five solar-panel-covered sails that can be ingeniously folded down for convenience. Engineered to endure the challenging Arctic climate, the vessel will be permanently stationed in the region, facilitating 'low carbon adventures' and rotating its operational base between Svalbard in the spring and summer, Greenland in the autumn, and Norway during the late autumn and winter months.
Diverse Arctic Itineraries
Beyond the daily ski adventure, the company unveils four additional distinct 2027 sailings, each offering a unique window into the Arctic's wonders. The 'Svalbard in the Midnight Sun' expedition, a 12-night journey commencing from Longyearbyen on July 18, 2027, leverages the extended daylight hours for activities like hiking across newly deglaciated terrains, enjoying coffee in historic trapper huts, tracking polar bear signs, fishing for herring, kayaking near glaciers, and identifying local wildlife. Departing from Constable Point on September 9, 2027, a 12-night voyage will explore the Scoresby Sund fjord, shared with colossal icebergs, and include interactions with the Eastern Inuit community, along with the invigorating polar plunge. For those drawn to celestial phenomena, 'In Pursuit of Northern Lights' is a seven-night itinerary from Tromsø on October 24, 2027, perfect for aurora season, offering photography workshops, surfing opportunities in the Lofoten Islands, and lessons in astronomical navigation. Finally, a shorter, thrill-seeking sailing from November 5 to November 11, 2027, also departing Tromsø during peak aurora visibility, includes snorkeling with orcas, dedicated whale watching excursions, and snowshoe hikes.
Adaptive Exploration Philosophy
What truly distinguishes these expeditions is the company's commitment to flexibility and responsiveness to nature. The eco-friendly propulsion system of the 'Captain Arctic' vessel ensures minimal disturbance to wildlife, allowing for closer and more respectful encounters. Crucially, each sailing operates without a predetermined daily schedule. This philosophy means itineraries are fluid and adapt dynamically to prevailing environmental conditions, ensuring guests experience the Arctic at its most authentic and surprising moments. The company emphasizes that this unplanned approach is key to unlocking the most profound and memorable interactions with the natural world. By not adhering to a rigid brochure itinerary, they guarantee that the adventure unfolds organically, dictated by the beauty and opportunities presented by the Arctic environment itself.
