Europe du Nord
Northern Europe yacht charter
Welcome to the lands of ice and fire. This is where nature is at its most spectacular, from ribbons of light dancing mesmerisingly across the night sky in Sweden to magma-heated water erupting from the earth’s crust in Iceland, cocooning fjords in Norway with waterfalls that appear to fall from the clouds themselves and Greenland with its ice caps up to 3km (1.9 miles) thick.
A yacht charter in northern Europe during the summer months means you can enjoy ‘white nights’ when the sun barely ever sets. Take the tender ashore and hike up to Preikestolen for vertiginous views down Lysefjord. Go heli-skiing or mountain climbing in Greenland for a bucket-list adrenaline experience. Try fishing for giant halibut and cod or track polar bears on snowmobiles. Here, it seems, anything is possible.
