Synopsis
Join ISBJØRN in the Lofoten Islands for a proper offshore adventure crossing the Norwegian Sea to the Faroe Islands. Starting and ending in stunning ports, we’ll sail southwest across the Arctic Circle in between! There will be plenty of opportunities to learn about weather routing and passage strategy, as finding the perfect window for the crossing will require some skill. For this reason, the trip is set to 13 days, giving the team some weather flexibility. The crossing itself will most likely be 5-6 days with the remaining time spent cruising and exploring Lofoten and/or the Faroe Islands on either end of the trip.
Note
We now reserve two spots for women on all of our passages! Learn more here.
