The expeditions will see travellers visit the polar
landscapes of the Arctic and Antarctic as well as crossing the majestic
Northwest Passage.
Chapman Freeborn,
the world’s leading air charter specialist, has collaborated with EYOS
Expeditions to offer a luxurious twist on adventures to some of the most
remarkable and often inaccessible places on the planet.
The collaboration
aligns charter experts in both aviation and yachting, allowing travellers to
travel by private jet to key destinations worldwide with Chapman Freeborn,
before boarding a luxurious expedition yacht and voyaging to the destination of
their choice with EYOS Expeditions.
EYOS’ launch trip
in 2014 is a 10-night expedition departing from Bodo, Norway and ending up in
the wild archipelago of Svalbard. On route, the trip takes in some of the most
breath-taking coastline and fjords that Norway has to offer, as well as
offering the opportunity for travellers to explore stunning islands and immerse
themselves in unique ocean cultures. Svalbard offers over 24,000 square miles
of breath-taking arctic wilderness, and adventurers will have the chance to
witness polar bears hunting for seals, kayak amidst dazzling icebergs, cruise
the face of stunning glaciers and hike with expert guides across the tundra.
Although all itineraries are bespoke and fully customisable, a sample itinerary
can be found here.
