FIRST SIGHTINGS
Onboard your vessel, this pioneering expedition will see you searching for Norway’s whales in a way that few others have done before. Stay out in the water for days on end far from human interruption on a purpose-built expedition vessel. With a team of experts on hand you will be on the trail of pods of orcas and humpbacks as they traverse the wild ocean. Watch pods of orcas as they hunt for huge shoals of herring far from the lights of the civilisation. As the sun sets this far north watch the northern lights dance above you in the sky and maybe even get the chance to see a humpback whale breach beneath the light of the Aurora Borealis.
There will be no set path or itineraries and you and your team of local experts will chart a course directed by the whales that you are following. Learn more about these fascinating animals from your onboard naturalists who can share with you their valuable and detailed knowledge about the patterns and life cycles of these fascinating creatures.
As you learn more about these animals and get closer to them take the opportunity to swim in their company. Slip on a dry suit and take to the frigid Arctic waters, gently gliding alongside these majestic creatures. While in the water you will be accompanied by an expert marine photographer who will capture every unbelievable moment. These stunning close encounters will be immortalised in so you can relive them in years to come. This is not an expedition for the faint-hearted and for those willing to explore the unknown without fear and without a schedule for some truly thrilling wild encounters, it is an experience like no other.
