Why We Like This Ship
- A unique ‘hands on’ Arctic sailing experience aboard a 2-masted schooner built in 1910
- Travelling with like-minded, adventurous travellers with a penchant for exploring remote regions
- With a maximum of only 20 fellow passengers, the strong on-board camaraderie is the main highlight for many
- Capable of sailing speeds of up to 10 knots The Noorderlicht sails beautifully
- A shallow draft means she can get into places larger motorised ships can’t, making her ideal for exploring Svalbard’s smaller islands
- Wide choice of voyages almost year round, mainly in and around Svalbard

Onboard Communication
If whilst in the Arctic you wish to stay in touch, there are a number of options to choose from:
- Use of Iridium Telephone (calls): EUR 2.50 per minute
- Ship-based email: EUR 2.50 per minute
Due to the remoteness of the location, the options available are only suitable for light data traffic, meaning that internet access or the uploading of images is not possible. Email access, however, is still available.
