A shape,not a script
This is how it often runs. Every day of yours is rewritten around who is coming, what they love, and how much they want to do.
Part 1. Arrival
North to the ship
A charter from Oslo or Copenhagen, then aboard. Your suite, your expedition gear, and the safety briefing over dinner.
Part 2. Most days
Into the ice
Zodiac landings, glacier fronts and walrus haul-outs, led by armed polar guides.
Part 3. Whenever they appear
Wildlife
Polar bears on the pack ice, Arctic fox, whales in the fjords. Sightings are never promised, so the ship goes where the animals are.
Part 4. Beyond the ship
Kayak, fly, stay
Paddling between icebergs, a helicopter over the ice cap, or a night at a remote station.
Part 5. The winter version
The northern lights
Glass-roofed lodges in Lapland or Northern Norway, dog sleds by day, and an aurora forecaster on call at night.
Everything,door to door
One desk, one quote, one payment. You get the plan and the paperwork; we deal with everyone else.
