Scoresby Sund Schooner Sailing Expedition: 8-Day Voyage

Board a classic expedition schooner and sail deep into Scoresby Sund's most remote arms — icebergs, polar light, and total wilderness solitude. This is the ultimate slow-travel immersion in Earth's last great Arctic frontier.

What to expect

Life aboard the schooner is unhurried and deeply personal — meals are shared with fellow explorers and naturalist guides around a single table, and the ship anchors each night in bays that see perhaps a dozen visitors per year. Each morning the captain reads the ice charts and chooses the day's course, meaning no two voyages are ever the same. Hiking ashore on red tundra, spotting musk oxen on ridgelines, and watching the midnight sun paint icebergs gold are all part of the rhythm. Nights on deck under aurora-touched skies complete the picture.
