This epic voyage will stretch you physically, and mentally and take you to places that very few people have seen let alone sailed. Polar bears, seals, walruses, whales \u2013 Narwhale, Beluga, and bowheads are a few of the animals you might see.<\/strong><\/p>\n

49 Nights: 10 August – 28 September 2026<\/p>\n

This is the expedition of a lifetime. Since the Northwest Passage was first crossed in 1906, less than 100 sailing vessels have successfully navigated it. We are now preparing an expedition to attempt it during 2024 or 2025 using a purpose-prepared expedition yacht, led by the experienced expedition leader, Jim Dobie.<\/p>\n

The Northwest Passage is a true test – 900miles across and less than 1,200miles from the North Pole, we will cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific, threading our way through the constantly shifting ice floes and narrow sea passages that make this one of the last great exploration trips on the planet.<\/p>\n

As it’s such a unique, intense, and specialist expedition all crew will require training and experience of sailing in the Arctic. We will be arranging expeditions to Norway, Svalbard, Iceland, and Greenland as ‘preparation’ trips in early 2024<\/p>\n

We are not taking bookings yet, but if you want to be kept informed of progress you can use the “Book now” button to register your interest and be kept informed as the plans come together.<\/p>\n
