Ocean Sherpa Expeditions

18/01/2026

Feeling privileged to have worked with Daniel Ernst and Natasha Klein who have, with their filming, editing, choice of music and not to forget... the professional presentation of Tashi, turned this trip into a cinematic piece of art.

Svalbard had always been just a distant name on the map – a place of cold, ice and old explorer stories. So we decided to change that and chartered a sailing...

Sailing through Svalbard is like stepping into the heart of the Arctic’s untamed wilderness. The icy waters are still and vast, coming alive with the arc of a whale’s spout on the horizon or the fleeting presence of a seal resting on an ice floe.

The shores hold their own wonders, from the noisy gatherings of walruses to the silent grace of polar bears traversing the ice. On quieter moments ashore, the quick, playful Arctic fox might cross your path.

Each encounter feels spontaneous, raw, and utterly humbling—a reminder of the wild beauty that thrives here, far beyond the reach of everyday life.

Not all adventures are created equal. Seeing the Arctic from a ship is unlike any other way of exploring.

From the deck of Ocean Sherpa, you’ll sail past towering glaciers and rugged coastlines, reaching places where no roads exist, thus few have ever set foot. Every day on board is different. One morning you might wake to the sight of a pod of whales; the next, you’re stepping onto an uninhabited island. Unlike camping or overland journeys, sailing gives you a warm, cozy base camp with all the amenities you need after a day of exploring.

The Arctic is vast, wild, and ever-changing. Sailing is the best way to experience it fully, with both freedom and comfort guiding your journey.
