An expedition ship all to yourselves, twelve guests at most and the Arctic as your playground.
Chartering Polarfront lets you bring family and friends together in a rare setting, on a voyage designed around exactly what you want.
The pace, the itinerary and the experience become yours. No two private itineraries are ever quite alike.
A private charter is more than just booking a departure. It lets you imagine a shared experience built around your group, your wishes and the way you like to travel.
Latitude Blanche and the crew build the project with you.
Each region offers a different experience of the Far North. We build your project around the season, your expectations and the sailing conditions.

Each private charter is quoted individually, based on the region, the season and the length of your expedition. Everything it includes is detailed above: the ship, its crew and guides, full board and activities. Tell us about your project and we will reply with a detailed proposal.
Yes: the ship is reserved entirely for your group, up to twelve guests. Tell us how many of you there will be and we will tailor the project to your group.
The length is decided with you, depending on the region and what you want to experience. As a guide, our voyages last 8 to 11 days: a week is enough to explore the fjords and the coast, ten days to push further when the ice allows.
As early as possible: a private charter involves the whole ship, and dates depend on Polarfront’s schedule and the seasons in each region. Contact us as soon as you have a period in mind.
Yes, from age 3: a private charter is ideal for a family reunion. Between 3 and 8, a boarding authorization is required. Children must be independent during outdoor activities and Zodiac landings, and remain under their parents’ responsibility. Full conditions are in our terms and conditions.
No: flights to and from the port of embarkation are not included. Our team can help you choose them.
Tell us about your project: a corporate retreat, an incentive trip, a film shoot or a scientific mission, each request is reviewed with the crew, in line with the regulations of the polar regions.
Ship’s biscuits
At sea, cookies are called ship’s biscuits, and our polar bear loves them. A few are essential to sail this website; the others, such as YouTube’s for our films, only come on board with your consent.
Ship’s biscuits · Ship’s manifest
Every biscuit is listed on the manifest, and the bear on watch awaits your orders: you decide which ones embark. Your choice is kept for six months and can be changed at any time.
Without them the ship would not float: the website language, form security and remembering your choices. They do nothing else and never follow you around.
