This experience, in a nutshell

We have created safari sailing escapades to show you as much as possible in the shortest possible time. Safari – these are short cruises after which you would want more – just right for the first time!


Spitsbergen is a very unusual place. It is definitely the most exotic piece of Europe. Most people fall in love with this region, but very few are not delighted with the closeness to nature – so before you start exploring the far north, check if the Arctic is for you.


Feel invited to a week-long cruise where you will feel like an explorer. Awareness that the number of bears exceeds the number of people living here, communing with the region rich in glaciers, walruses, mountains, polar stations, air purity and wildness of the region make you feel like an explorer and find out if you want to come back here for longer.


What you can expect:

  • you are sailing a well-prepared for sailing insulated yacht with specially prepared heating with a captain with extensive arctic experience
  • you are not just a tourist – you are part of the crew
  • All time- if you want to learn about sailing or Svalbard we are happy share our knowledge
  • you will see several glaciers
  • you will visit one of the polar stations
  • you have the opportunity to see walruses, reindeer, seals, arctic foxes and with a bit of luck belugas and bears
  • you will take part in trekking, you will get to know the interior
  • you will see the coal mines
