Our voyages are classified with icebergs: from low-threshold adventures to the ultimate challenge. One iceberg means an accessible introduction to the sea and sailing. Two icebergs take you closer to the Arctic spirit, with a touch more challenge. Three icebergs are for those who want to push boundaries: longer passages, remote areas and being fully reliant on each other. This way you can always find the adventure that suits you.

Our voyages are classified with icebergs: from low-threshold adventures to the ultimate challenge. One iceberg means an accessible introduction to the sea and sailing. Two icebergs take you closer to the Arctic spirit, with a touch more challenge. Three icebergs are for those who want to push boundaries: longer passages, remote areas and being fully reliant on each other. This way you can always find the adventure that suits you.

1 iceberg – Accessible day trips, for everyone

These voyages are open to everyone. We only sail day passages, without any night crossings. In the evening we moor in a harbor or drop anchor in a sheltered bay. The program remains flexible: if the weather turns, we can easily switch to another activity. Perfect for anyone who wants to experience sailing for the first time, or simply enjoy a relaxed but adventurous stay on board. One iceberg stands for low-threshold adventure, where discovery and enjoyment come first.

2 icebergs – Overnight passages & Arctic feeling

Here you step into a real sailing adventure. We include crossings that may take one night, or we sail in the High North – such as the Isfjorden in Svalbard – where rescue facilities exist, but are often not immediately accessible. These voyages require more flexibility and perseverance, but they remain very doable for those open to new experiences. Two icebergs stand for adventure with a hint of challenge: the first real step into the Arctic spirit.

3 icebergs – Ocean crossings & remote Arctic regions

Our most demanding category. These voyages include longer passages of several days up to weeks at sea, or take place in remote Arctic regions where rescue is not guaranteed and we rely mostly on ourselves. Here we expect a certain mindset and, preferably, previous sailing experience. Mindset is just as important as experience: living together on board, supporting and trusting each other, and adapting to the rhythm of ship and nature. At times uncomfortable, always intense and unforgettable. Three icebergs stand for the ultimate “Out Of The Ordinary”: an achievement, an adventure and a memory for life.

With our sailing trips, we aim to introduce beginners to sailing and the ocean on the one hand, and experienced sailors who want to do something different on the other. But of course, not every trip is the same... That's why we distinguish between heaviness and effort. That way you have an idea of what you can, should and can expect.With our sailing trips, we aim to introduce beginners to sailing and the ocean on the one hand, and experienced sailors who want to do something different on the other.

 1 iceberg

These sailing trips are done in day trips. No night crossings are planned. At night, we are either at anchor or in a harbour. During an Inspire voyage characterised by 1 iceberg, we are very flexible in terms of weather conditions. In case of bad conditions, we may plan another activity together.

 2 icebergs

This type of trip includes one or more crossings of up to one night at sea. As the trips are structured so that we spend a maximum of one night at sea during the same leg, we can easily adapt to any changing weather conditions.

 3 icebergs

These trips include longer crossings of 2 days to several weeks of non-stop ocean sailing. Trips characterised by 3 icebergs are only suitable for embarkants who have done a 1 or 2 iceberg trip before or can demonstrate experience. There is a real chance of ending up in less comfortable conditions here. However, this kind of trip is always a unique and beautiful achievement.
