Arctic Voyages: An Exclusive Adventures in the Wilds of Norway

Exclusive Arctic circle cruises take you on exploration of the spectacular beauty of pristine nature, ancient viking locations and exceptional gastro experiences

Have you ever thought of exploring the captivating Arctic landscapes? Well, Nordvær is offering exclusive, high-end sailing trips that provide unparalleled access to some of the world's most remote and beautiful destinations, like the Helgeland Coast in Northern Norway, with a stunning archipelago, mountainous islands, deep fjords, and expansive glaciers centered around the Arctic Circle.

The primary cruising area streches from Brønnøysund, Torghatten and Vega in the South, to Lofoten in the North. But understanding that every guest has unique interests, Nordvær offers customizable itineraries. Whether it's chasing the Northern Lights, exploring ancient Viking sites, or skiing above pristine fjords in the winter months, adventures are tailored to guest preferences.

The voyages are based on a new Lagoon 51 catamaran, a spacious sailing yacht well-equipped, with room for six to 12 guests, for year-round sailing in Northern climates and with knowledgable local crew fully certified with extensive guiding experience.

Eric Ryan was raised on the water in Alaska, before coming to Norway to ski during his teenage years. He has been exploring Norway and the Arctic as a scientist and photographer, ever since, and Marte, his wife, is a Norwegian local and the 5th generation to manage Nordvær’s Island farm.

Her Nordic heritage defines the tastes and comforts on board. The highlight is on Norwegian culinary traditions, with exceptional dining experiences, featuring gourmet meals prepared with the freshest local ingredients, including seafood caught straight from the Arctic waters by the guests themselves (halibut, cod, scallops), and products from Eric and Marte's farm.

Beyond the natural beauty, the Helgeland coast is full of cultural attractions, including a UNESCO World Heritage, and countless viking sites. Therefore, Nordvær provides its guests immersive cultural experiences, from visiting local communities to learning about the region's history and traditions, offering a deeper understanding of the Norwegian way of life.

Despite Nordvær's remote location, there is easy access from Europe, with direct flights to Oslo during much of the year. In addition, Nordvær has partnered with Mysea, a leading international boutique Central Agent, with offices in Croatia, ensuring streamlined brokerage and a fantastic customer experience end to end. So set sail on this tailor-made journey along the vibrant Helgeland coastline in the far north, and with a bit of adventurous spirit discover its spectacular beauty.
