In a nutshell

Set sail on the MS Bard, the hybrid-electric catamaran that will make you feel like an eco-explorer among the fjords of Svalbard. You'll sail past some of the natural wonders of the region without making a sound (so as not to disturb the local Arctic inhabitants), and if you're lucky, an animal or two might decide to say hello.

The programme

Fasten your seatbelt (well, not really) and get ready for an adventure that will make you feel like an explorer from the future, on board the MS Bard - the hybrid-electric catamaran that combines the ultimate in sustainability with an eye-catching design. Thanks to its super quiet engine, you'll sail along without making a sound.
With a bit of luck, you might meet some animals who feel like featuring in your Arctic selfies - from reindeer to seals, to whales that seem to know how to make a real entrance. With a little extra luck, you might even catch a glimpse of a polar bear, focusing on its own tour of the Arctic.
The captain will select the route according to the weather, so every voyage is a gamble: Who knows where the wind will take you?! Probably to places so unique that you'll be amazed that such really exist. On board, the comfort is superb: spacious lounges to relax and enjoy the views as you navigate through the heart of the Arctic, without sacrificing on convenience.
