will not follow the wake of most other ships that sail these areas. It will probably not be less beautiful and spectacular from that reason – just a stronger experience. If the wind is on our side, we are going to travel the silent way.

During our legs we will visit places, with and without people, you maybe not would have been able to visit otherwise, and maybe places that not too many people before you have seen? We will drop the anchor in hidden bays and coves, explore the surroundings etc. We will also have several opportunities to harvest from what Mother Earth is willing to give away, and also observe the rich fauna along our coast.

Summer 1: Our "classical" sailing trip between Tromsø and North Cape/HonningsvÃ¥g. More relaxed days at sea just watching the scenery pass by and observing birds, harbour porpoises, maybe whales, but also with possibilities for some fishing and shorter hikes in this ever-changing part of Norway. We stay overnight either by anchor in hidden coves, small fjords or by a quay in the settlements we visit. Departure from Tromsø 13th July after 12 noon. Arrival in HonningsvÃ¥g 21st July before 12 noon. 8 nights on board.                                                                            Late availability special offer: NOK 8.200,- per person.

Summer 2: Our new trip from North Cape/HonningsvÃ¥g to Kirkenes. Maybe a little bit more challenging since the trip is in the North-Easternmost part of Norway and the European mainland where we'll have the Arctic ocean to port and the plateaus and rolling hills of Finnmark to starboard.  But we'll also sail in 2 of the major fjords in Norway, Tanafjorden and Varangerfjorden as well as visiting some of the villages along the coast, have a close encounter with the Russian border at Grense Jakobselv, fish, hike - and maybe say hello to some of the Beluga whale pods that come to this area at summer? And the last glimpses of the midnight sun........ Departure from HonningsvÃ¥g/North Cape 23rd July after 12 noon. Arrival in Kirkenes 31st July before 12 noon. 8 nights on board.                                                                           Late availability special offer: NOK 8.200,- per person.

Summer 3: The Varangerfjord and it's surrounding areas are said to be the unpolished diamond as far as Norwegian travel destinations are concerned. The distance from South to North/West to East is no more than 90 kms/90 kms, but within this area you'll find a variety in topography hardly found anywhere else in Norway. The only things missing are high mountains and big cities. But is that something to miss? This is a trip for those of you who like "small-scale sailing", experience the multi cultural impressions from the Norwegian, Saami, Finish and Russian influence in the area , history and smaller museums, birds, fishing, hiking, king crabs, a lot oo sea and sky and ......... maybe some beluga whales? The Varangerfjord is well known for it's bird sanctuaries and some rare birds that attract birdwatchers from all over the world. The fjord is very rich on marine life. Check this link for more info on the area.

 The last evening will be spent at the Sirkka farm in Vadsø.  And if you are interested in jazz - why not end your holiday by attending the Northernmost Jazz festival in the world, Varangerfestivalen in Vadsø? 4 days of fun and music with a lot of possibilities for outdoor activities at daytime.

Departure from Kirkenes 4th August after 12 noon. Arrival in Kirkenes 11th August before 12 noon. 7 nights on board.                                                              Late availability special offer: NOK 8.200,- per person.
