A WILD TERRITORY LOADED WITH HISTORY
Welcome aboard our journey along the northwest coast of Spitsbergen; an area rich in majestic fjords and mountains, large glaciers, wildlife and lots of history.
Our objective for this trip is to know the flora and fauna of the archipelago. Different shore excursions will be made, including trips to glaciers.
Although we won't completely circumnavigate Svalbard on this trip, there are great opportunities to see polar bears, whales, seals and walruses. In Svalbard there is the so-called “midnight sun” until August 11, so there will be light 24 hours a day.
On this trip we will use a 21 meter long expedition sailboat. It is a very stable and comfortable boat built in steel, made for sailing in arctic waters. The boat has many comforts and all the safety elements essential to navigate through ice.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION:
Security:
Svalbard is a wild territory with a polar bear population of more than 2,000 individuals. All land activities will be supervised by our polar guide with experience in risk management in the area. It is advisable to have accident and rescue insurance (even though in Norway rescues are free).
On the boat, all management falls to the Skipper of the boat who will take all measures for safe navigation. The safety material for sailing will be delivered upon arrival and in the same way a briefing will be carried out to guarantee maximum safety throughout the trip.
Food and accommodation:
The sailboat is fully equipped with heating to be comfortable inside both when eating and sleeping. The boat has 6 cabins and 5 bathrooms. Meals will be eaten on board by all members of the group.
