Spitsbergen, Jan Mayen and East Greenland under sail
Join arctic voyages! Experience nature unfiltered and intensely with small groups, see remote places.
Rolf Stange is one of the most experienced and respected polar Expedition Leaders, with a good reputation for thorough knowledge, careful organisation and good leadership, humorous but strict where it is needed.
To start with the bad news: our trips are German speaking, simply because that is the market we have the best access to. But of course you are welcome also as a non-native German speaker as long as you have some access to the language so that you can follow as briefings, presentations etc. will be given in German. It will always be possible to answer questions individually in English or to give a short summary, but we can’t run the whole operation twice in two languages – it just doesn’t work properly, as full translations for everybody would take a lot of time and that would in the end go over the quality of the experience for everybody.
That said – if you can understand the basics and you appreciate the opportunity to improve you language skills by the way: welcome on board!

Destinations
We focus on Spitsbergen (Svalbard), but we have also done trips to Jan Mayen, east Greenland, Antarctica and Patagonia in the past and these may well come up again.
Each summer, we offer a little series of selected voyages on sainling ships. Some of them have specific subjects such as ‘photography’ or ‘glaciers’. Click the links below for further information on the individual voyages.
We expect our guests to have good general health and reasonable fitness and motivation for this nature experience in a small group and on small ships in remote areas, far from civilisation and medical facilities. We also hope for interest in the area, natural and human history beyond a superficial level.
Does that sound like you? Then … join us! Please have a look at the sites that are linked below or get in touch for more information (contact).
