The ship

This elegant 50 meter three masted tall ship captures everyone’s attention as she glides on the polar seas. She is very strong, capable, and best suited scouring the ice in the Arctic. Built in 1993, she has been sailing for more than thirty years around the northerly seas, proving that she is trustworthy and made for arctic adventures.

She will host you in her bright and comfortable main saloon, where plenty of windows provide a panoramic view for you to watch the waves roll by. Accommodation is made up of 5 twin bunk-style cabins and 2 single cabins. Home-cooked meals by the on board chef will be enjoyed in her main saloon, amid a well stocked library of polar literature. Day to day life on board is exciting yet easy-going: you will discuss the upcoming route over a hearty breakfast, plan your days activities, share life experiences over warm tea, and keep your binoculars in hand whilst we look out for wildlife.

Having been built in Finland there is, of course, a well-sized sauna on board, which will be the perfect refuge after a polar-plunge!

All meals are prepared by the onboard chef, with breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as snacks, tea and coffee included.

Dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice.

You’ll thrive if you…

• Are curious, adaptable and drawn to remote places

• Enjoy being an active participant rather than a passive observer

• Value learning, context and expedition leadership

• Appreciate comfort, but don’t need luxury trappings

• Want a meaningful Arctic experience within a manageable timeframe

This may not be for you if you…

• Prefer fixed itineraries and guaranteed daily plans

• Expect cruise-style amenities or private cabins

• Are uncomfortable with cold, changeable conditions

• Want a purely photographic or sightseeing-only experience

This expedition is designed for curious, adventurous travellers who are excited by wild places and genuinely expeditionary travel.

Solo travellers are very welcome and the group is limited to just 12 guests.

You do not need specialist sailing, photography or scientific experience. Guests can choose how physically active they want to be, although everyone needs sufficient mobility to use stairs aboard the ship and to get safely into and out of the ship and Zodiac.

An open mind and willingness to embrace changing plans are important. Weather, wildlife and sea ice are in charge here.

Expedition Leadership

Each departure is led by Expedition Leader Joe Hall, joined by a rotating guest leader whose creative and expedition background adds depth to the experience.

British-Brazilian and Iceland-based for over a decade, Joe has spent many seasons sailing East Greenland and traversing Iceland’s highlands, with growing experience across both the Arctic and Antarctic. Known for his energetic, people-first leadership style, Joe believes the best expeditions are shaped by curiosity, adaptability and shared joy. He is always present, always engaged, and always ready to work with whatever nature delivers.

Alongside the permanent expedition team, each of these cool Greenland expeditions is joined by a different co-host: someone chosen not simply for what they know, but for what they bring to the experience.

They might be a photographer, an explorer, a scientist, a writer, an artist, or a naturalist.

Over days aboard, there is plenty of time for conversations that would never fit neatly into a scheduled talk: over coffee on deck, during a long Zodiac ride, around the dinner table, or while waiting for a polar bear to decide what it intends to do next.

Want to join?

Anyone interested in joining this expedition should begin by making an enquiry here on the Another World Adventures website. From there, we’ll share full voyage details and help you take the next step: a short introductory call with the expedition team.

This conversation is a standard and important part of joining the voyage.

A proper expedition is shaped as much by the people as by the place. The expedition operator carefully curates each expedition team — bringing together individuals who share a spirit of adventure, curiosity and openness, while valuing the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives that make a journey richer.

The call is simply a chance to:

• Introduce yourself and your experience

• Talk through the realities of Arctic expedition sailing

• Make sure expectations align on both sides

If you’re open to new places, new people and unforgettable landscapes, that’s usually all that’s required.

Once you enquire through AWA, we’ll guide you through arranging the call with the Expedition Leader and ensure you have everything you need to decide whether this is the right Arctic journey for you.
