Explore the Norwegian coast above the Arctic circle with springtime sailing and coastal exploration on expedition yacht Narwhal.

Springtime is a spectacular time to see arctic Norway at it’s best. Join Narwhal as she sails from Bodø to Tromsø along the beautiful Norwegian coast when the days are lengthening, but the winter snows linger on the mountains lending an extra element of beauty to the surroundings.

During this expedition, Narwhal will be travelling at a slower pace, giving us plenty of time to appreciate and explore the scenery around us, relax and unwind in an untamed wilderness. The aim is to sail during the day and then find a wild anchorage to explore and spend the night. If you are dreaming of stretching your horizons beyond the arctic circle but are not sure how to take the first step, then this expedition is for you.

Joining Narwhal in the vibrant city of Bodø is a great way to begin your arctic adventure. You will have the opportunity to settle in and be shown around the boat as well as to explore the town and get your first taste of life above the arctic circle. Skippers Katharine and Eric will introduce you to everything that you need to know about Narwhal, life onboard and the research projects that they will be undertaking. Dinner will be provided onboard on the first evening, a great opportunity to get to know your fellow crew and guests.

Following initial safety briefings, Narwhal will set sail for the sheltered and spectacular fjords around Bodø, providing the perfect opportunity to get used to the boat and trial some of the research equipment. There will be plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in the stunning scenery of the arctic landscape.

The main part of the expedition will see Narwhal working her way north through the sheltered but intricate inside passages. Sailing up fjords and past islands you will have a front-row view of the scenery and wildlife. Anchoring each evening will allow you time to enjoy other activities, including photography, hiking, fishing, maybe even trying your hand at kayaking or paddle boarding or simply relaxing and enjoying the relaxed pace of life far from the hectic modern world.

You will spend your final day enjoying the scenery of Northern Norway before heading into port in Tromsø. Narwhal will moor up for the night in Tromsø where you can enjoy your final evening on board with a nice dinner and time to swap stories, highlights and pictures from the expedition. Breakfast will be provided on your final morning before you disembark in the town of Tromsø.
