Day by day

SS26-VARG-SUMMER_DSC8022 (1)

Day 1:Onboarding and Skrova Exploration

We’ll meet in Kabelvåg at 4 pm and board Varg S/Y to settle in. The crew will then go through a safety briefing and the essentials of life on board. Before setting sail, we visit the Bellona Center to learn about their innovative kelp storage project, which captures and stores carbon to combat climate change. We then set sail and our first stop is Skrova Island, where we’ll hike to the summit of Høgskrova for breathtaking fjord views. In the evening, we’ll anchor nearby and enjoy dinner onboard.
