Experience an unforgettable sailing adventure in the fascinatingly beautiful nature of northern Norway. Mild temperatures, long days and a more than impressive landscape are the ingredients for a journey of a special kind. We start in Bodø and then sail along the mainland coast and over to the Lofoten Islands, depending on the wind and weather. We make regular stops in cosy fishing harbours, picturesque anchor bays or on one of the tiny islands. A summer beyond the Arctic Circle that you will remember for a long time to come. Book your berth or cabin now and experience this extraordinary adventure on our exclusively equipped expedition yacht POLARIS.

Expected course of the trip:

We sail with the POLARIS from Bodø through the Vestfjorden to the north-west. On numerous stopovers in the middle of the fascinatingly beautiful Lofoten archipelago, you will experience the Nordic nature and way of life at first hand. Depending on the wind and weather, our route then takes us through the marvellous fjords and sounds to the north side of the archipelago. After 11 days at sea, we reach Bodø, once again the centre of the north. From here, you will travel back to Germany in comfort by flight. Depending on the weather and the schedule, it may be necessary to cover longer sections of the journey under engine power. Total distance: approx. 250 nautical miles.

This extraordinary trip is led by our two experienced professional skippers Yannik Kethers and Axel Hachenberger.

Information on arrival and departure:

You can reach Bodø quickly and easily by flight via Oslo. Oslo (OSL) itself can be reached by direct flight from Frankfurt, Munich, Amsterdam and Brussels. The return journey from Bodø is also via Oslo as a stopover. In this respect, we recommend the relevant booking portals Swoodoo and Opodo for your research. Sometimes it also makes sense to search for flights directly on the websites of the relevant airlines to obtain additional allotments or a cheaper price. For Norway, this is usually the airline SAS. You can also find an overview of all Norwegian airports, including the connections available from there, at Avinor.
