80° north.
Experience unique ski touring and the beauty of Svalbard on our Arctic Ski Cruise expedition. Unforgettable moments with magnificent scenery, arctic wildlife, great skiing and midnight sun.
During this expedition we will be cruising along the west coast of Svalbard between the latitudes 77–80 degrees north. Every day our professional IFMGA mountain guides will take you to explore new areas for epic ski touring. First descents, powder and spring snow, untouched lines ending to sand beaches. Whales feeding in the fjords and polar bear tracks crossing the remote arctic landscape.
Upon returning to the ship, après-ski is waiting with unbeatable views. The anchors are lifted up again and the dinner is served. The evening continues on the deck with wildlife watching in the midnight sun. Why not relax in the sauna.
Arctic Guides has been organizing more ski touring trips to Svalbard than any other professional tour operator. Thus our team and guides have a unique competence in guiding and oganizing ski expeditions in these amazing remote areas. All our guides are internationally certified IFMGA mountain guides with long, solid experience. All of our staff is also thoroughly trained in polar bear safety.
The expedition leader for this expedition is Anders Bergwall, IFMGA mountain guide and founder of Arctic Guides. During over 30 years Anders has specialized to guiding in Polar areas and led several expeditions in the Arctic.
The maximum group size for this expedition is 12 persons. We have three mountain guides guiding on this trip making us able to offer ski touring on different levels depending on the level of experience of our guests.
Our vessel.
Our expedition vessel S/V Linden is a 50 meter schooner built in 1993 as a replica of the original Linden from 1920. Linden has spent the last 5 seasons in Svalbard and is a magnificent vessel. The experience onboard is amazing. When the wind is right we can set sails and shut off the engine and enjoy the feeling of natural travel in an incredible landscape. Even if Linden is a copy of a traditional sailing vessel she is equipped with modern technologies so we can always travel in a safe manner.
Our vessel offers cosy accommodation in double cabins with private toilet and shower. The lounge and dining area is spacious and the meals are delicious. The bar onboard offers a nice selection of wines and other beverages.
