North Sailing Greenland
Operated by: North Sailing
North Sailing operate a fleet of three traditional wooden schooners on eight-day Experience Greenland expeditions.
Depending on your travel date, you will cruise aboard one of:
- Opal
- Hildur
- Tilvera
Small in size, each expedition ship accommodates no more than 12 travellers on intimate expeditions around Scoresby Sund. Single berths, twin and shared cabins (up to four guests sharing) are available, all of which utilise shared bathroom facilities. Note that berths are quite small, and living areas are compact. There can also be steep stairs between decks.
Where possible, you will travel under sail, although the ship's engines may be called upon when sufficient winds are not present.
