For over 4 months will be spend in the Arctic regions. A name that sends shivers down your spine with just a whisper. The name breathes cold, ice, adventure and explore. In the months the Tecla will be in the Arctic, it will be summer. The nights are long, or even never ending and although at first there will be snow everywhere, during our stay in the North, the snow declines and leave some room for an amazing bed of flowers that signify that summer has arrived.
Set Sail for just a week – discovering those places of Iceland that you cannot reach by car. We will take you into the heart of Hornstrandir Nature Reserve. We will take you to some of the quietest anchorage, some of the steepest bird cliffs and over some of the most fantastic hills.
Or you can sail with us for two weeks in Iceland. Setting sail to the Arctic Circle – our Blue Nose voyage.
We start of with a visit to Hornstrandir and then we take you a step further! Sailing to Drangey with birds nesting and flowers blooming. And then to Grimsey where you will stand on the ever moving Arctic Circle. Before we finish with Whales in the fjord were Akureyri lies.
From Iceland we set sail for Scoresbysund on the East coast of Greenland. Here we will stay for over 10 days, exploring the sound and rounding the island Milne Land. This voyage offers you the best of both worlds. You will start your voyage with exploring Hornstrandir, getting to know the ship and its crew. And after that you will sail for 3 days, before hitting the ice and becoming an expert on Ice navigation. In Greenland you will be able to see Arctic Hares, Muskoxen, Arctic Skua’s, Long Tail Skuas and so much more!
The Tecla is a family business run by three sailors who have been sailing since 1991. If you would like to know a little more about them, please watch our mini documentary on Youtube called Northbound.
