Arctic Norwegian Expedition: Sailing trip Narvik (Norway) - Longyearbyen (Svalbard) Inspire

Our programme during this trip

Embarkation

Embarkation takes place on Sunday 15/06/2025 in the region of Narvik from 17:00. We will moor with T/S Saeftinghe near Hammerstad or Evenes airport so you can easily board. We will let you know the exact location a few days in advance through our communication channels.

After you are installed, we will get to know your fellow sailors over an aperitif and you can enjoy a light meal.

The programme

This 14-day sailing from Narvik to Longyearbyen in Svalbard is a true ocean experience, sailing 650 miles across the Norwegian Sea. It is a challenging sea voyage where you can experience the full power and vastness of the ocean tjhe midnight sun. Night sailing takes on another dimension here.

If weather conditions permit, we will stop at the remote Bear Island, one of the most isolated places in the world. This mysterious place offers a unique opportunity to explore the pristine nature and Arctic ecosystem up close. Once we arrive in Svalbard, depending on the meteorological conditions, we will also visit some locations on this archipelago to immerse you in the rugged beauty of the Arctic.

Disembarkation

Disembarkation is scheduled after breakfast on Saturday morning 28/06/2025 in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway.

For whom is this trip suitable?

With our voyages, 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 should expect.

This trip has 3 icebergs

This trip includes longer crossings of 2 days and possibly more. Trips characterised by 3 icebergs are only suitable for boarders 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.
