Arctic sailing and Nordic tours

Where the steel boat's soul meets the northern lights – an expedition through time and space on the sea that shaped Viking dreams.

Where the steel boat’s soul meets the northern lights – an expedition through time and space on the sea that shaped Viking dreams.

Aboard the specially built Saxe 55 expedition vessel, you become part of an ancient tradition where the sea is not merely a route, but a portal to the unknown. Constructed with steel reinforcement and double insulation to withstand ice and demanding conditions, this boat has already explored Greenland’s deep silence and Svalbard’s white desolate expanses, while carrying BBC and National Geographic film teams through nature’s most dramatic theater. From the Lofoten Wall rising directly from the sea to Helgeland’s thousand islands, from Shetland’s windswept cliffs to Orkney’s mysterious stone circles – each journey becomes a meditation on Nordic waters that have shaped civilizations for over a thousand years.

This is more than sailing – it’s an escape from the digital captivity of A4 life to the timeless rhythm of the North Sea.

With five cabins for eight guests plus crew, the boat offers comfortable luxury in northern waters where warmth is always welcome, even on summer evenings when the northern lights dance across the horizon. In our wheelhouse with 360-degree views, you can learn sailing’s ancient arts – navigation, knots, fishing and filleting – while rediscovering your curious and intimate self that may have been lost in the busy world. Each anchorage becomes an opportunity for stillness, each port visit a portal to new stories, thoughts and experiences that only the North Sea’s majesty can provide. We seek to anchor as much as possible and minimize time in noisy harbors, where only the wind’s harp in the rigging and the eternal song of waves against the steel hull shape our soundtrack.
