Norway
Sailing a yacht round the coast of Svalbard (Spitsbergen), just 500 miles from the north pole.
An absolutely amazing experience – it feels like being part of the Arctic summer - exhilarating and relaxing at the same time.
You’ll see the midnight sun, polar bears, walrus, whales and thousands of birds. There’s time to explore on land too – you can walk on glaciers, climb hills and just soak up the atmosphere .
You don't need to be super fit or to have sailing experience, the friendly skipper (who has sailed through the northwest passage and is great company) teaches you as you go along.
