Expedition description
Our next expedition will take us from Reykjavík, the vibrant capital of Iceland, to Nuuk, the cultural and historical hub of Greenland by sea. Along the way, we will sail across the Denmark Strait, explore the wild and rugged east coast of Greenland, visit colorful and traditional communities, witness majestic glaciers and icebergs, and encounter amazing wildlife.
Crew members need to be enthusiastic, flexible, and willing to contribute to the success of the expedition. They don't need to have any previous sailing experience, but they do need willing to learn and participate in all sailing activities as well as have a sense of adventure and a positive attitude. A good level of fitness and a good sense of humor is highly recommended , as sailing can be physically and mentally demanding, but also fun and rewarding.
Currently the crew is a motley mix of nationalities that not only has good sailing experience in polar waters, but also share a common passion for photography, climbing, mountaineering, sea kayaking, sking, and scuba diving among other things. The variety of backgrounds, interests and personalities, bound by a shared passion for adventure travel, ensures that this sailing expedition will be full of extraordinary moments and experiences.
The expedition will last for 21 days, from June 8 to June 29, 2024. This is a non-commercial expedition, and the budget estimate for the entire trip is €35,000 to be split evenly between the crew. The budget covers yacht, food, fuel, and remuneration of our captain. You will need to arrange your own flights to and from Reykjavík and Nuuk, on land accommodation, bring your own equipment and have adequate travel insurance. We can help with that if needed!
