Sail to Spitsbergen, the Lofoten Islands, Iceland, or Greenland, where you can experience the beauty of autumn in the arctic aboard a Dutch tall ship or Russian research vessel. In these high latitudes, autumn can bring snow, and cooler temperatures, but it can also create awesome sites and adventures that cannot be seen or experienced anywhere else. From the beauty of glaciers with the sun glinting off, to the majesty of the northern lights, these adventures will stir the explorer within and create unforgettable memories. Autumn is also a time of mating and migration for the beautiful orcas, setting up a great opportunity to watch as these stunning creatures swim along with the ship. To witness these majestic creatures up close is to feel the power of the nature that surrounds you. The orcas, however, are not the only attraction on these sailing adventures. You will also see birds of every kind, foxes, and other marine wildlife. The landscape of this part of the world is awe inspiring--windswept plains, sheer cliffs rising high above the churning water, and ruins that sit among the winter grasses are just a few of the wonderful sites you will see. Contact us now to make sure you reserve your spot for a memorable autumn adventure.
