Our services for individual and companies can go from the single consultation to the total conception and realisation of touristic trips in relation with sport and nature or events and communication projects in relation with the maritime and/or the Arctic environment. Our special position between France and Norway, gives norwegian companies a good opportunity to consult us for their similar projects in France.

Our strong points :

An office open 7 days a week for your inquiries.

Norwegian operator, Good local knowledge from all point of view. We’re working in close relation with local administrations and tourism actors : governor of Svalbard, Norwegian polar institute, National parks, WWF Arctic program, Norwegian ministry of the environment, Norwegian coast guards. Better understanding of the norwegian culture.

25 years of sailing expédition in remote places give us the capability to hold ambitious project in a professional way while keeping security and comfort at the heart of our préoccupations.

Our participative trips are designed for our busy clients. There is nothing extrême. We take the time to enjoy the outdoor, no rush.

11 years of activity in Svalbard and Northern Europe. Huge expérience of the fields (security, comfort, observation of the nature). The satisfaction of our guests is unanimous. 69NORD was the first to organize a sailing trip open to the public through the North West passage onboard a sailing boat.

Our boat is equiped with cold water safety equipment (survival suit, life raft). She is based all year long north of the polar circle. She is technically prepared for Arctic program (Heater, isolation, condensation)
