Yacht Charter in Svalbard

Cruising through the high Arctic

Located halfway between Norway and the North Pole, Svalbard offers some of the most extraordinary expedition cruising on earth. Guests navigate among icebergs and glaciers, visit research stations, and encounter wildlife that exists nowhere else at this scale. The atmosphere is elemental: clean air, endless daylight, and the quiet rhythm of the polar sea.

Arctic wildlife encounters

Polar bears, walrus colonies, and whales

Arctic wildlife encounters

Wildlife defines Svalbard. Guests often see polar bears patrolling the ice, walruses hauled out on remote beaches, and whales feeding close to the yacht. Excursions by tender allow quiet observation and photography in pristine surroundings, guided by local experts who know the patterns of the ice and animals.
Exploration by air and ice

Helicopter landings and glacier treks

Exploration by air and ice

From Longyearbyen or directly from the yacht, helicopters can take guests to areas unreachable by sea; mountain ridges, glacial plateaus, and vast snowfields. Guided hikes or ice-cave walks reveal the Arctic’s shifting terrain up close. It’s an environment that changes daily, rewarding flexibility and curiosity.
History in the ice

Scientific heritage and polar culture

History in the ice

Svalbard’s human story is one of endurance and exploration. Guests can visit the remains of early whaling stations, small research outposts, and the Svalbard Museum in Longyearbyen, which traces centuries of Arctic navigation. Ashore, the settlements mix frontier history with modern Norwegian practicality; a glimpse into life lived at the planet’s edge.
Yacht Charter in Svalbard

A charter defined by pure exploration

A Svalbard charter combines the comfort of a superyacht with the authenticity of polar travel. Days unfold according to weather, wildlife and light. Kayaking beneath glacier fronts, watching whales from the bridge, or landing on a ridge where footprints vanish in fresh snow. It’s a journey that captures what modern exploration can be: adventurous, responsible, and deeply personal.
