About the cruise:
“By Endurance We Conquer”. Since you're here, you must have already heard the words of the commander of the Trans-Antarctic Expedition, Ernest Shackleton. We sail to immerse ourselves in nature in its purest form. To the edge of the ice. Towards Solitude. Towards Silence. Wilderness. Purity. Towards the proximity of the North Pole. Or at least as close as possible... Why all this? The answer will always be different. Perhaps, as the King of Rain wrote, the universe closed within us calls for space to act. It demands its participation with a mighty voice. So, we sail to confirm our existence, to slow down, to experience catharsis. To do something for ourselves. To understand Wilderness. The Wild. To be in a place where perhaps NO ONE has been, or at least has not left their traces. There are no ports on the route, with anchorages on the windward side of the islands as the only shelter. In the waters of the Far North, Risk is an inherent companion – the captain's ability to assess it guarantees safety. The crews of The Far North, the last three "upper stages," are formed from past participants in the our cruises. We encourage you to undergo a full medical examination, which we will inform you about during the organization time of the expedition, visiting the dentist, and taking care of your physical condition. This will ensure better safety, comfort, and joy of sailing without unforeseen troubles. By Endurance We Conquer…
