Something extraordinary is about to happen in the Arctic...
And we need expert adventure curators like you to find the right explorers for these uncharted horizons.
For fifteen years, I’ve been guiding travelers through some of the planet’s most remote waters. I’ve seen every type of expedition vessel, worked with every kind of operator, witnessed both the transformational magic and the disappointing compromises of polar travel.
But when my friend Sophie—a brilliant polar ice captain—showed me the early sketches of a solar-powered expedition ship, I knew we were looking at something that would change everything.
Not just how we explore the Arctic, but what becomes possible when you strip away everything unnecessary and perfect what remains.
Starting this fall, less than 500 people annually will experience the Arctic powered entirely by wind and sun, moving in complete silence through waters where polar bears hunt undisturbed and northern lights perform without generator hum. That’s fewer than the number of people who will summit Mt. Everest.
This isn’t sustainable tourism making compromises. This is sustainable tourism being superior.
Your most sophisticated clients can be among the first people on Earth to experience it.
The Ship That Changes Everything:
We’re not just building a better expedition ship, we’re proving the future of travel works.
Captain Arctic represents something bigger than one vessel. With 2000m² of solar panels integrated into aluminum sails, silent electric propulsion, and complete operational independence, we’re demonstrating that sustainable luxury isn’t compromise—it’s evolution.
Every system aboard proves that zero-emission exploration delivers superior experiences. Wildlife behaves naturally around our silent approach. Arctic communities welcome us because our presence enhances rather than depletes their environment.
This is just the beginning. Imagine completely carbon-neutral polar travel—electric flights from Iceland to Greenland, shore-based renewable charging stations, expedition vessels that heal rather than harm the places they visit.
We’re leading the transformation of an entire industry. Within a decade, diesel-powered expedition cruising will feel as outdated as gas-guzzling luxury cars.
Right now, we have the opportunity to prove that the highest standards of luxury and the deepest environmental responsibility aren’t just compatible—they’re inseparable.
The future of premium travel starts here. And we’re writing this future together.
The Explorers We Seek:
We are looking for a specific type of traveler…
Not luxury cruise passengers seeking pampering, adrenaline junkies chasing extremes, or anyone expecting formal nights and white tablecloths.
We need the perpetually curious. Those who’ve circumnavigated the globe but never truly gotten lost. Who’ve stayed in the world’s finest hotels but crave encounters that can’t be purchased from a concierge.
They’re celebrating milestone birthdays but have grown weary of traditional luxury. They’re running companies but realize their best thinking happens away from conference rooms. They’re families seeking shared experiences that create stories rather than just photos.
These are people who understand that the most exclusive experience isn’t about what others can’t afford—it’s about what literally doesn’t exist elsewhere.
Most importantly, they’re ready to embrace uncertainty as opportunity. When weather changes our planned route, they’re intrigued rather than disappointed. When we encounter something unexpected, they lean in rather than check schedules.
You know exactly who I’m talking about. And they’re waiting for you to offer them something impossible.
How Unscripted Becomes Extraordinary
Here’s what happens when you strip away everything expedition cruising has always assumed was necessary:
No predetermined ports. No rigid schedules. No entertainment directors filling every moment.
Instead, we follow opportunity. When ice conditions reveal hidden passages, we explore them. When aurora activity peaks unexpectedly, we stay on deck past midnight. When village elders invite extended conversation, we linger rather than rush to scheduled stops.
Your clients will experience polar exploration as it felt before it became an industry—when discovery happened because you were in the right place with the right people at the right moment.
This is possible because Sophie designed complete operational independence: autonomous water production, renewable energy, food systems that eliminate dependence on resupply.
We carry thirty-six guests with ten expedition team members. That ratio means everyone becomes part of exploration rather than passive observers.
By the third day, your clients aren’t following an itinerary—they’re helping write one.
By the end, they understand the difference between visiting the Arctic and truly exploring it.
Where Privacy Meets Connection
When you’re designing a ship for thirty-six people, every choice matters.
Large cruise ships can hide awkward layouts behind sheer scale. But when your entire guest list could fit around a few dinner tables, spaces either bring people together or keep them apart.
We chose connection.
Eighteen ocean-view cabins positioned so everyone wakes to wilderness, not hallways. A lounge with massive windows where aurora viewing becomes shared wonder instead of solitary phone photography.
Our open bridge means guests actually learn navigation from the captain. Suddenly everyone’s invested in ice conditions and route decisions—they’re participants, not just passengers.
Our expedition team becomes part of the dinner conversations. These are scientists who’ve survived Antarctic winters, naturalists who’ve tracked polar bears across moving ice, photographers who’ve captured the planet’s most extreme moments. Fascinating people with incredible stories.
And these extraordinary journeys attract remarkable travelers—people who’ve built interesting lives and have perspectives worth sharing.
Small group travel creates lasting friendships.
The Luxury of Disconnection
I love the idea that people might actually wake up and reach for a pen instead of scrolling notifications.
Your clients will find Wi-Fi available in just one area of the ship. Not to be difficult, but to give them permission to be fully present for something extraordinary.
Most luxury travelers are constantly connected. The Arctic offers something rare—an excuse to step away from digital demands without seeming unprofessional or unreachable.
You don’t realize how much phones ding and vibrate until they stop. Your clients won’t notice the constant digital noise until it’s replaced by Arctic silence.
This means dinner conversations aren’t interrupted by notifications. Kayak excursions happen without likes and shares stealing focus. They’ll still photograph everything—but without digital distractions competing for attention.
Your clients will initially feel phantom phone vibrations. By day three, they’re reading books in the lounge. By day seven, they’re writing in journals.
When they return home, digital detox becomes one of their favorite aspects.
Not because we forced it, but because we made it easy.
Dining That Enhances Discovery
Great meals are punctuation marks of great expeditions.
Your clients expect exceptional dining, so we have built a culinary team capable of delighting them at every turn. When we stop in villages, our chef gets off the ship to find local fishermen and gatherers to buy from—Arctic char just pulled from these waters, herbs and berries harvested from the tundra.
It’s about supporting local economies while giving your clients flavors that connect them to the places they’re exploring.
Our bar program follows the same philosophy. Local beers and spirits alongside premium favorites. Our special reserve cellar holds bottles I save for memorable evenings—when we encounter the elusive narwhal or celebrate exciting news from home, such as the birth of a granddaughter.
And honestly? I take coffee very seriously. Your clients probably do too. We have a La Marzocco espresso machine and source beans that actually taste like something. Good coffee matters because rituals matter—on ships, in Arctic cultures, everywhere.
That perfect cup becomes part of the daily ritual of starting each adventure, connecting you to home while embracing somewhere completely different.
Three Arctic Frontiers
We travel to the places I love most, and here’s why:
Smaller groups enable deeper access. Whether it’s Sami reindeer herders sharing traditional knowledge, Arctic researchers explaining their work firsthand, or Greenlandic hunters teaching ice-reading skills—authentic encounters happen because we arrive as respectful visitors, not overwhelming tourists.
I wanted destinations that prove this principle in different ways.
Northern Norway launches us this November. Four days among Sami communities where winter brings orcas to these fjords and creates natural theater across endless skies. Shorter voyage options make this the perfect introduction to what we’re creating—accessible Arctic magic without the complexity of more remote destinations.
Svalbard follows next summer. Ten days in polar bear territory during midnight sun, when wildlife activity peaks and research stations welcome our small groups for genuine scientific exchange. Access that simply doesn’t exist elsewhere.
East Greenland represents the ultimate frontier. September expeditions explore Scoresbysund—the world’s largest fjord system. Ten days among icebergs thousands of years old and Inuit communities who’ve developed real relationships with us over time.
This is the most remote Arctic wilderness on Earth, and we’re among the few who can access it responsibly.
The Dream Team
Like assembling an Olympic team, I want the best of the best.
I’ve spent years building this expedition team, and honestly, I couldn’t be more proud of who we’ve assembled. PhD scientists with Arctic specialties who can explain complex ecosystems in ways that fascinate rather than overwhelm. Naturalists who’ve dedicated decades to polar research.
Every single guide is polar bear safety trained and an expert zodiac driver - non-negotiables in our environment. But what makes them extraordinary is what you can’t teach: they’re incredible listeners and observers, attuned to guest energy and needs. Diplomatic leaders who know when to push adventure and when to offer comfort.
When your client seems hesitant about a zodiac excursion, our guides read that instantly and adjust their approach. When someone’s genuinely excited about Arctic geology, they pivot the conversation to share deeper knowledge. They’re compassionate professionals who understand that different people need different types of support to thrive.
This tight-knit team of senior-level experts transforms surface-level tourism into genuine Arctic education. Your clients aren’t just getting guides - they’re getting my dream team of polar professionals whose combined expertise and emotional intelligence create transformative experiences.
That caliber of leadership can’t be rushed or faked.
Three Ways to Experience Captain Arctic
Bespoke Private Charters
Complete ship exclusivity for your most discerning guests
Perfect for milestone celebrations, corporate leadership retreats, or multi-generational family adventures. Every detail becomes customizable—from daily schedules to specialized interests like photography workshops or Arctic history deep-dives. Heather works directly with your group to design expeditions around specific vision and preferences.
Special Group Charters
Your expertise, our execution, their transformation
Ideal for geographical societies, specialty travel groups, or agency exclusives. You maintain the client relationship and curatorial control while we handle all expedition logistics. Your travelers experience departures that reflect your organization’s values and expertise, with Heather’s team providing polar operations excellence.
Open Expeditions
Carefully curated departures for individual sophisticated travelers
Set dates with shared discovery among like-minded explorers. Our open expeditions attract travelers who appreciate thoughtful exploration and understand they’re joining something historic. Perfect for booking individual cabins while ensuring compatible travel companions who value authentic Arctic experiences over traditional cruise amenities.
Why We Need You
I’ve learned that the best expeditions happen when thoughtful advisors match adventurous clients with transformative experiences.
Your expertise matters more than you might realize. You know which clients will thrive on unscripted exploration versus those wanting predictable luxury cruise experiences. You understand who’s ready for zodiac boarding in Arctic conditions and who prefers observation from comfortable lounges.
We need that curatorial wisdom because disappointed guests ruin expeditions for everyone.
I’ll be aboard every departure, but I can’t screen thirty-six passengers for compatibility with this type of travel. You can. You know your clients’ appetite for uncertainty, their comfort with active engagement, their readiness to embrace digital minimalism.
This is why we’re working exclusively with professional advisors in year one. No direct sales. No competition with your client relationships. Just partnership between expedition professionals and travel professionals.
The mathematics are simple: fifteen departures annually means roughly 540 spots worldwide. Your sophisticated clients who’ve done everything obvious can be among the handful of people experiencing Arctic travel this way.
But we need the right people. People who understand they’re not just booking a trip—they’re joining something that’s never existed before.
What this partnership means:
I want to make you heroes to your most valuable clients.
Here’s what we provide: marketing materials that actually tell the story well, direct access to our expedition planning team, and honest communication about what to expect. No surprises, no disappointments.
More importantly, you’ll have access to something your competitors literally cannot offer. While others charter Captain Arctic for standard expeditions, only we provide English-only departures led by actual polar expedition professionals who’ve designed every detail for authentic Arctic exploration.
Your commission structure reflects the sophistication required to sell transformative travel rather than commodity cruising.
But honestly, the real value is simpler: your clients will return from these expeditions as advocates. Not just for the Arctic, but for you as the advisor who found them something impossible.
They’ll tell their friends about watching orcas from a silent ship, learning ice navigation from the captain, sharing stories with fellow travelers who became lasting connections. And they’ll remember exactly who made it possible.
That’s the kind of client loyalty that builds businesses. When you offer experiences that literally don’t exist elsewhere, you become irreplaceable rather than replaceable.
The window is closing
By the time this becomes obvious to everyone, it will be too late to get in.
Northern Norway launches in November—just months away. Svalbard summer departures are already generating serious interest from advisors who understand what we’re creating. East Greenland will be the most sought-after expedition in polar travel.
Your sophisticated clients who’ve done everything obvious deserve first access to something that’s never existed before. But only if you act while spots remain available.
I’ve seen this pattern before in expedition travel. Revolutionary approaches start as curiosity among a small group of visionaries. Then word spreads. Then everyone wants in, but capacity is already committed.
The mathematics won’t change: thirty-six passengers, fifteen annual departures, fewer than 600 people worldwide experiencing Arctic travel this way.
Your competitors will eventually understand what we’ve built here. They’ll want partnerships too. But we’re choosing our advisor network now, based on shared values around transformative travel and client curation.
This isn’t about rushing anyone. It’s about recognizing that genuinely exclusive opportunities don’t wait around for people to decide they’re ready.
The Arctic has waited millennia for the right approach. Your clients shouldn’t wait much longer.

Not all Captain Arctic Expeditions are Equal
Same ship. Different Investment.
The Reality Check: Your clients may see the Captain Arctic advertised elsewhere for far less than our expeditions. You can assure them that they’re not comparing equivalent experiences. Traveling with us, they’re accessing a fundamentally different class of Arctic exploration that includes expedition excellence, cultural authenticity, and service standards that justify premium positioning.
Selar Expeditions (€7,000-€12,000)
Social media influencer-led adventures
French-language departures (despite English marketing)
Basic expedition services, adventure-tourism focus
Younger demographic seeking content creation opportunities
Our Expeditions (€18,250-€53,245)
50+ years combined polar expertise among permanent team
PhD scientists, master naturalists, professional photographers
English-only departures with sophisticated clientele curation
Bespoke cultural partnerships developed over years
Heather’s personal expedition leadership on every departure
Premium dining with locally-sourced ingredients
Professional photography instruction and wine selections
Bottom Line: When competitors offer “Captain Arctic for €7,000,” it’s like comparing a guided group tour to a private expedition with world-class naturalists. Same destination, entirely different universe of experience quality and sophistication. Our pricing reflects our approach to genuine expedition luxury that creates lifetime advocates.

The Math of Exclusivity
When numbers tell the story for you
36 passengers maximum per voyage
15 departures annually
Maxiumum 540 guests total worldwide
Less exclusive than: Private jet ownership, Michelin three-star restaurant reservations, front-row seats at the Met Gala
More exclusive than: Harvard admission, luxury African safari lodges, most private member clubs
The Reality: Your clients will be among the select few who will be the first to experience zero-emission Arctic exploration. For context, more people climb Everest each year (around 800) than will travel aboard Captain Arctic in 2027.
Why This Matters: True exclusivity isn’t about artificial scarcity—it’s about physical limitations. Thirty-six passengers represents the optimal balance between intimate access and operational safety in polar conditions. Larger ships cannot access the same destinations or cultural encounters.
The Comparison: While Celebrity Edge carries 2,918 passengers and Lindblad Resolution carries 126, Captain Arctic’s 36-guest capacity enables village visits, research station access, and wildlife encounters simply impossible at larger scale.
Bottom Line: Your sophisticated clients aren’t paying for exclusivity as status—they’re accessing experiences that literally cannot exist with more people aboard.
