Do I need to be physically fit to join an Arctic sailing expedition?

No, you don’t need to be a professional athlete. However, we do not accept guests with serious heart conditions or life-threatening illnesses. Our trips require general fitness, flexibility, and a sense of adventure.

Can solo travelers join an Arctic sailing adventure in Norway?

Absolutely! Many solo travelers join our Arctic sailing trips. You can book a single bed or upgrade to a private double cabin for an extra 10,000 NOK on longer trips. Our sailboat is small and social. Expect shared meals, cozy living, and meaningful connections with like-minded adventurers. Day trips include up to 11 people, so you'll never feel alone.

Is hard-shell luggage allowed on Arctic sailing expeditions?

We kindly ask guests to avoid hard-shell luggage due to limited storage space. Please bring a soft duffel bag and use small soft pouches or packing cubes to help organize your belongings efficiently on the boat.

What type of Arctic travel and adventure sailing experiences do you offer?

We sell adventure sailing experiences in the Arctic, not luxury cruises. Our trips are for people who can adapt to life on a sailboat and the raw beauty of nature. Space is limited, and comfort is simple but meaningful. Group sizes range from 6 to 12 guests.

Will I get seasick on an Arctic sailing expedition in Norway?

Some people are more sensitive to motion than others. While we don’t cross open oceans, mild waves are possible. If you want to avoid seasickness, we recommend taking preventative medication the day before departure. Feel free to bring your preferred remedies, just in case.

How can I leave a tip for the Arctic sailing crew or guide?

Tipping is entirely optional, but always appreciated. If you’d like to leave a tip for the captain, skipper, or guide, just let the captain know. He’ll point you in the right direction.

What should I pack for an Arctic sailing adventure in cold weather? Can you help?

Yes, don’t worry! After confirming your booking, you’ll receive a detailed packing list in your welcome email. This guide includes all the essentials for sailing and staying comfortable in Arctic weather conditions.

What is the living space like on board your Arctic sailing boat?

Our sailing boat has two levels and is designed to offer both functionality and comfort for small group adventures.

On the lower deck, you’ll find a private cabin with a double bed and a single bed, separated by a door for extra privacy. There’s also a spacious bathroom with a shower, and a cozy salon with a large dining table that transforms into a double bed and an additional single bed.

The upper deck features the kitchen and another seating area, where the table converts into a second double bed. This is where Giorgia (host) and Haakon (captain) sleep.

The two levels are divided by a stairway and a dark curtain, giving guests a sense of separation and privacy. It’s a compact but well-organized space, perfect for life at sea during our Arctic expeditions.

Are pets allowed on board during an Arctic sailing adventure?

Yes! We are a pet-friendly sailing company, and your four-legged friends are welcome aboard. If you plan to bring your dog (or another pet), please contact us in advance so we can make the proper arrangements to ensure everyone's safety and comfort on board. We love animals, but we need to make sure they’ll be happy and safe in the boat’s unique environment.

Can I get professional photos of my Arctic sailing trip?

Yes, absolutely! On board, you’ll find Giorgia, a professional outdoor photographer. If your group would like to capture memories of your Arctic sailing adventure, we offer optional photo packages.
Just let us know in the booking form if you're interested, and for an additional fee, you’ll receive high-quality images of your experience. Perfect for reliving the journey or sharing with friends and family!
