8 // ICEBEAR: Ireland - Sweden // 900nm & 10 Days // $4,250 // WAITLIST


$4,250 // 10 Days

UPDATED ROUTE!

We’ll be staging ICEBEAR on the west coast of Sweden in our adopted homeport of Marstrand on the gorgeous west (BEST!) coast of Sweden. We'll depart Ireland and sail west past Fastnet Rock and around the rugged west coast of Ireland, heading north towards Scotland. Weather and wind will dictate the schedule, but we have the opportunity to stop in several places along the way - like Galway, Oban, Isle of Skye, Stornoway, Lerwick or Bergen, Norway - or we may just go nonstop around the top of Scotland to Sweden!

Departure port in Ireland is subject to change, but most likely will be Kinsale.
