Secret Atlas is offering families the opportunity to enjoy an adventure onboard an “Expedition Micro Yacht Charter to the Arctic.” Families or groups of up to 12 guests can learn in the field from local expert biology, geology and wildlife guides and enjoy experiences personalized to the group’s specific interests and needs.

Equipped with spacious en-suite cabins, freshly prepared meals by an onboard chef and large open lounge areas, Secret Atlas' expedition vessel can accommodate families with young teens and up. Groups will be able to experience the wonders of glaciers, polar bears, giant icebergs and local cultures across Greenland, northern Norway and beyond.

Here are five experiences families can enjoy on an Expedition Micro Cruise to the Arctic:

"Wildlife Spotting on an Arctic Safari" – Enjoy a family-friendly wildlife trip led by an expert naturalist guide to see polar bears, walruses, seals, whales and the elusive narwhal in Greenland’s waters.
"Explore the Land of Ice" – Learn about the intricate relationships between glaciers, climate and polar ecosystems while safely exploring the East Greenland ice cap with professional guides. See cathedral-sized icebergs in Scoresbysund, the world’s largest fjord system and understand how to identify different types of ice features, from newly formed sea ice to ancient glacial ice that holds trapped air bubbles from thousands of years ago.
"Follow in the Footsteps of Legendary Polar Explorers" – Uncover polar explorer history while walking in the footsteps of pioneers like Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen and standing in the very sites that shaped their past expeditions.
"Go Fossil Hunting in Svalbard" – Discover prehistoric treasures waiting to be discovered while fossil hunting in Svalbard. Professional geologists will guide families on a prehistoric Arctic expedition at Boltodden, where rare dinosaur footprints offer insights into the region’s geological history.
"Engage with Local Communities and Cultural Heritage" – Meet with Inuit communities in Greenland to understand their traditional practices and modern adaptations to Arctic life. Or in Svalbard, visit historic trappers’ huts and explore expedition sites including centuries-old whaling stations.

Secret Atlas also offers private yacht expeditions to Svalbard, Norway and Greenland. Families can explore the polar regions on a private yacht expedition with a bespoke schedule created around what the group would like to see and experience. Secret Atlas offers expeditions to suit all types of style and budget, tailored to guests’ needs including skiing, kayaking, wildlife experiences such as whale watching and the chance to see the Northern Lights. Vessels range from classic to luxury including en-suite cabins and large lounges, and itineraries range from four to 15 days, departing in summer and winter 2025 depending on the destination.
