Attention artists of all disciplines. Ever dreamt of immersing yourself in the breathtaking landscapes of Greenland while honing your craft? How about doing so aboard a luxury expedition yacht?
Aboard the Polar front
Pelorus Yachting, the oceanic arm of expedition specialists Pelorus, is unveiling an unparalleled opportunity: an artists’ retreat in Greenland, led by a local Greenlandic artist, set against the stunning backdrop of the Arctic wilderness. Your canvas? The Polar front, a meticulously retrofitted former weather ship transformed into a sumptuous expedition vessel, complete with its own onboard weather station courtesy of Météo France.
Crafting Your Journey
For the discerning artist, the experience comes with a price tag of $343,728 to charter the ship for a seven-day voyage accommodating up to 12 guests. However, with charter comes control, allowing you to curate every aspect of your journey. Whether you envision being guided by a watercolorist, a photographer, a poet, a musician, or even a chef, the choice is yours.
Explore Greenland’s Wonders
Amidst the awe-inspiring scenery of Greenland, guests can partake in a myriad of expedition activities, from navigating icebergs in Zodiacs to trekking through untouched landscapes, angling for Atlantic char, or paddling alongside majestic humpback whales and perhaps even elusive belugas.
Onboard Luxuries
Back onboard, the Polar front offers an equally captivating experience. Recently upgraded with new engines to minimize environmental impact and fuel consumption by over 40 percent, this 180-foot vessel boasts eight cabins accommodating up to 12 guests. The Coriolis Lounge serves as a hub for intellectual exchange, with guides providing lectures and, for the artists’ retreat, facilitating workshops. Additionally, guests can unwind in the fitness room, indulge in the sauna, luxuriate in the on-deck hot tub, or lose themselves in the maritime and polar literature housed within the onboard library.
