Aqua Lares

Set out on an expedition cruise into the planet’s northernmost reaches to experience the otherworldly landscapes of Svalbard, the Norwegian Fjords and Scotland’s farthest isles. Aboard luxury superyacht Aqua Lares – a former icebreaker – discovery unfolds at your own pace. Design a journey to suit your schedule. Or choose from five-to-14-night itineraries, sailing between the summer months of June and September. This is when the midnight sun soaks the sky in reddish gold and the Arctic wilderness bursts with life. See walruses claim rocky shorelines. Shift your gaze to the water and glimpse beluga whales gliding beneath the surface. Feel the rush of adrenaline as polar bears close in on seals, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. 

During your luxury Arctic cruise, Zodiac excursions take you into the hidden inlets of fjords. Guided kayaking trips let you crisscross still waters past colossal icebergs. Step ashore to explore barren tundras where reindeer and foxes roam. Or walk the paths of past explorers. Discover age-old heritage sites like the Callanish Stones, visit Europe’s northernmost villages and spot magnificent seabird colonies of guillemots, puffins and terns. Seasoned naturalists guide each experience, enriching every voyage with their deep expertise. 

Onboard Aqua Lares, you can expect exceptional hospitality with a crew-to-guest ratio of one-to-one. Beyond an impeccable service, the yacht offers an intimate ambience with just 15 elegant cabins spread out across its six expansive decks. You’ll find a massage room, sauna and cinema for downtime post-exploration. There’s also an outdoor Jacuzzi that’s strategically positioned to admire uninterrupted views of passing glaciers and fjords. Enjoy sundowners amidst the crisp Arctic air from one of several al fresco areas, then head inside for gourmet dinners in the sophisticated dining room. End your evenings on the sundeck, watching the midnight sun hover above the horizon.
