$4,500 // 10 Days

Synopsis

Join dream team August Sandberg and his beloved ISBJØRN in Bergen, Norway for the first expedition of the season – westbound across the North Sea for Scotland! We’ll call at Orkney & Fair Isle before finishing the passage in Lerwick, Shetland.

ISBJØRN was launched in April 1972, so this will be her 50th birthday! We’ll make sure to celebrate her properly. She might be an old, eccentric lady, but handled properly, she’s the best there is.

Growing up on the west coast of Norway, August knows every rock and current you will encounter on the way. He has sailed across the North Sea many times, and will be your travel guide as well as skipper.
