Ópal - our Home.

Ópal is a beautiful wooden schooner that is built for expeditions with lots of space on the deck and a cozy room to come together inside and chill in front of the fireplace. And the best thing - there’s even a hot tub waiting for you on the deck to warm up after you have done the Arctic plunge!

As we sail through the unspoiled arctic landscape – or when ashore – we might come across some of Greenland’s sensational wildlife in their natural habitat. Although rare, polar bears, have been spotted as they curiously observe our passing. Other animals are more common, especially snow hares, seals and muskoxen. Regardless of whether hiking in the breathtaking arctic environment or onboard the vessel sailing through the kingdom of ice is a feeling that cannot be described and will be something you will never forget.

Last but not least, we will visit Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the most isolated villages on the western hemisphere. This home of roughly 450 hardy inhabitants is truly awe-inspiring, as it is possible to experience the historical and cultural roots of this traditional Inuit community.
