Why choosing us?
Our strength lies in real life at sea – accessible, yet comfortable.
We offer a human experience — authentic, grounded, and coherent — where each guest feels expected, respected, and genuinely welcomed into a meaningful adventure. This is not flashy luxury or mass-market polar tourism. It’s maritime know-how, a deep respect for place, and a shared passion for the North.
Yes, like others, we sail in the Arctic, in Norway, Svalbard, and Greenland. Yes, our voyages allow you to approach whales, explore fjords, and experience nature at its most grand. But what sets us apart is how we live and share these moments with you.
Authentic and comfortable vessels
We believe that adventure should never mean sacrificing comfort. Our ships are not impersonal floating hotels — they are true exploration vessels, carefully designed to offer warmth, intimacy, and safety. Life on board is welcoming and peaceful, a place where you feel at home — at sea.
Full board — truly all-inclusive
On board, you don’t have to worry about a thing. Every meal is prepared with care and shared in a relaxed, trusting atmosphere. Our cuisine is generous, convivial, and inspired by the food we love — using quality ingredients, often local, always homemade.
A team from the field, not a remote platform
When you contact us, you speak directly with a captain or a guide — not a call center. It’s simple, direct, and efficient. We know these sailing areas intimately — their constraints, their wonders, their hidden treasures. We’re not selling a product — we’re inviting you aboard a project we live and breathe every day.
A smooth, honest, and responsive relationship
We reply quickly, we’re available, and we keep things clear from the very beginning. Booking is easy, payment is secure (we accept credit cards), and we offer flexible, interest-free installment options. We make the experience accessible — without friction.
A respectful and thoughtful approach
We sail in small groups, with care and consideration — for the places, the seasons, and the wildlife. No overpromising. No forced spectacle. Just honest, thoughtful encounters with the North, through conscious and respectful navigation.
Our footprint
The footprint we want to leave is an essential aspect of our approach. Like the imprint of the polar bear, we want this imprint to be unforgettable in your minds and to be as weak as possible on the environment in which we live.
On board you will be supervised by our crew members. Captain, sailor, cook or guide, we are all driven by a passion for the sea, the Arctic and adventure. We will have at heart to ensure you a comfortable, gourmand, enriching stay and this in complete safety .
Whether during a ski touring raid, navigation in the fjords, an emotional moment at the sight of a polar bear in Spitsbergen, an orca leap, the song of a humpback whale or an observation of the aurora borealis we wish to make these moments unforgettable, in this sumptuous, fragile nature and therefore to be protected.
Welcome on board!
The spirit of our stays
We differ from the biggest boats by our availability and our flexibility to seize opportunities to transform them into beautiful observations:
whatever the time of day or “night”, whatever the time that must be devoted to it, the priority is to make good local observations. We can dedicate hours to nature viewing, in the middle of the day or under the midnight sun.
This difference is highly appreciated by photographers, ornithologists and naturalists. It is the key to a rich stay. You wrap it all in a friendly, almost family setting and you have there, all the spirit of our stays.
We therefore do not have an immutable “day to day”, but rather a common thread and a number of objectives that we strive to achieve in order to meet your expectations. Every day, depending on the ice conditions, the weather, we will make you enjoy the best that Nature can offer us and will take you to the most beautiful sites that we have discovered over the years.
This “philosophy”, with no scheduled future, requires that you let yourself be carried away by the progress of your trip to Spitsbergen by placing your trust in us…
We want to share our passion with you and respond to your curiosity.
Life on board
On board our cruises, every detail is carefully crafted to ensure the quality of your stay, the richness of your observations, and your absolute comfort.
We take great pride in offering an unforgettable experience in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Our dedicated team ensures that every moment is filled with friendliness, making sure you feel comfortable and well cared for throughout your journey.
Dining experience
We place a high value on the quality of the dining experience. On board, you'll enjoy delicious cuisine, carefully prepared by our chefs, featuring local and French products. Each meal is designed to be a pleasant and flavorful moment.
