As summer approaches and many head towards sun and sea, you can choose a different kind of adventure instead. Join Nordic on a once-in-a-lifetime expedition to Spitsbergen or Antarctica. Experience the silence, forces of nature and pure beauty of the polar regions aboard Ocean Albatros.

As summer approaches and many head for the sun and sea, you can also opt for a different kind of adventure. Fancy a trip where you literally and figuratively disappear off the radar? Nordic takes you on a once-in-a-lifetime expedition to Spitsbergen or Antarctica.

Leave your beach holiday behind and swap your flip-flops for snow boots. Aboard the brand new Ocean Albatros, you will travel to the far north or south of our planet in 2025 or 2026. This high-tech ship is equipped with everything you need: a panoramic sauna, Scandinavian gastronomy and a stable hull – ideal if the waves are just as adventurous as you are…

On June 27, 2025, the Ocean Albatros will sail to Spitsbergen – an area of ​​impressive fjords, vast pack ice and remote bays such as Edgeøya. Along the way, there is a good chance of spotting walruses, whales and perhaps even polar bears. Dutch-speaking expedition leaders will be on board to provide you with context and depth during the journey. Unique to this 10-day trip: travel: the direct flight from Brussels is included in the price.

Antarctica: silence, penguins and pure nature

For those seeking adventure in the far south: on January 12, 2026, the ship will depart from Ushuaia for a 12-day trip to Antarctica. Please note: this trip excludes flights. Once on board, you will be immersed in a world of silence, surreal ice formations and penguins as far as the eye can see. During zodiac excursions, you will experience the overwhelming nature up close, while fascinating lectures provide more context to what you see and experience. Dutch-speaking guidance from Nordic will also be present on this trip, for those who like to be well-informed when they set off. 

Nordic is temporarily offering a discount of €2000 per person on these exceptional expedition trips. A great opportunity to set course for one of the most pristine and impressive areas on earth. Before you know it, you will be sitting in the panoramic sauna with a gin and tonic, watching the Northern Lights – or penguins…
