You can choose to join any individual leg or sign up for the whole expedition.

For PHASE FOUR, the FINAL PHASE, the expedition will sail southeast from Reykjavik and around the Reykjanes peninsula to the southern archipelago of the Westman Islands, which are a part of Iceland. From there, the expedition sails east to the beautiful Faroe Islands to sail in stunning fjordscapes.

Pushing east, you will  sail to the Shetland Islands, another remote archipelago, this time part of the UK. Finally, the expedition will sail further east still and terminate in the quaint town of Bergen, Norway, steeped in history.

• Undertake the expedition with a small group of 12 amazing people from all over.
• Enjoy stunning vistas and landscapes with the trappings of civilisation
• Pursue an intentional, knowledge-oriented expedition with respect to the destinations visited
• Travel with an experienced crew and Expedition Leader that are at least as excited to be there as you (!)
• Set the sails of destiny, and strive forth upon your highest purpose: to sail and explore the waters of the north

Citizen Science

A scientific programme will run on board this expedition, owing to the remoteness of the locations we will be travelling in and the general lack of data about the Arctic. The purpose of this programme is to shed light on the continuing influence of the changing climate on the Polar Regions.

In Practice, this means that the crew will be collecting data at regular intervals throughout the expedition relating to water temperature at, the presence of microplastics (if any), salinity and acidity levels as well as keeping a rigorous log on sighted wildlife along the way.

At the end of the expedition, all the data will be collated into a report which will be disseminated to Scientific databases which can be used to aid in further research about the Arctic.

All passengers are invited to participate in this ongoing programme on board and involve themselves. It must be said that there is no obligation at all, and participation is entirely voluntary.

With 12 days and 11 nights at our disposal, we will have plenty of time to explore these remote island communities. However, to make this expedition unique and to really harness the resources at our disposal, we will use our vessel to explore more/the most difficult to reach parts of these remote islands. Most tourists visiting the Faroe Islands or the Shetland Islands can see the main sights in a few days, but some areas remain very out of reach without a considerable time investment.

That’s where we come in. Sailing in from the west, we can land at some of the most remote islands in these archipelagos; places that could take at least several days to reach if you were travelling in a more conventional way.
