Why us? — Men of Sea

Why us?

PASSIONS, IDEAS, PROFESSIONALISM


The Arctic is a world we have been fascinated with for a long time. We have been spending almost the entire year here for several years now. In each of its seasons, in every place, we discover the beauty of this northern land. We feel at home here—we are a part of this world. The fjords, glaciers and animals already recognize our presence. We breathe in the Arctic.

From this passion, fascination, and the desire to share with others the beauty we experience, our activity of organizing expeditions in the Arctic world naturally emerged. We did not learn this from books. We do not recycle anyone else’s ideas—we share what we genuinely live through.

The way participants of our expeditions perceive the world becomes our reality. We are dedicated to fulfilling their dreams and discovering the most beautiful places.

It might seem like hard work—but not for us. Our work is our joy and our passion; we love sharing what is most precious and the joy and satisfaction of those who travel with us is always our greatest reward. They may forget what we said, they may forget what we did, but they will never forget how we made them feel. The excitement of the Arctic’s beauty, encounters with pods of whales, polar bears, and magnificent glaciers stays forever.

It is true that in the Arctic, it is easier than anywhere else to create unforgettable impressions, to organize the Journey of a Lifetime, to inspire awe—we know this and we know how to make the most of it. We have extensive experience and knowledge. We always place the utmost importance on safety and do everything with the highest professionalism. Thanks to this, we are recommended by those who have joined our expeditions.

We can also proudly say that our activity in the Arctic has been recognized many times. Our expeditions have been featured in major media outlets. Numerous publications have been written about us. We have received awards for our achievements and have set more than one record.


WHY TRAVEL WITH US?



+ -

EXPERIENCE


We have been in the Arctic for many years, spending almost the entire year here. We have organized numerous expeditions. We possess extensive knowledge and know the places where we operate our journeys inside out.



+ -

SAFETY


Safety is our priority. We have developed, practiced, and implemented our own procedures. We know that the forces of nature are stronger than we are, which is why we avoid recklessness and minimize risks. On the other hand, thanks to our experience, we know what we can allow ourselves to do.



+ -

KNOWLEDGE


For the participants of our expeditions, the Arctic is a pristine world.

For us, these are places we have visited many times. We know how to prepare the most attractive route and can adapt it to current conditions. We choose what truly matters and skip places where it is not worth wasting time.

This is especially important in Svalbard, about which there is little publicly available knowledge—and the knowledge that is shared is often whispered from ear to ear.



+ -

PRICELESS TIME


The participants of our expeditions are most often very busy people and their holiday time is priceless.

For us, preparing each expedition always begins several months in advance, so that every participant knows what to expect and arrives well-prepared.

Once we are on site, we make sure to carry out an intensive program.



+ -

SATISFACTION


The second most important matter for us, alongside safety, is the satisfaction of our expedition participants. This is the foundation of all our activities, and we take great care to ensure it. The participants are the most effective advertisement for our future expeditions. Their recommendations to others are our primary source of attracting new participants.



+ -

FROM A TO Z


Our work begins long before our clients start their journey. We fine-tune every detail of the trip, ensure that participants are properly prepared, remain constantly available, meet expectations during the journey, and when the participants return home and recall the wonderful time they had—we create films and albums that serve as beautiful keepsakes.



+ -

PHOTOGRAPY


We are passionate about photography. We have a sensitivity to the beauty of nature. We strive to share our knowledge so that interested participants can also return with beautiful shots.



+ -

ARCTIC ONLY FOR SOME


Organizing a journey through the northern Arctic is, in practice, impossible for the average tourist. Most of the most interesting places are inaccessible by traditional means of transport. Svalbard is a vast wildlife reserve, and the requirements set by the Governor’s Office involve the laborious process of obtaining numerous permits and filling out forms.

Due to the nature of the area and the existing dangers from ice and wildlife, meeting safety requirements also demands specialized insurance that covers the costs of potential rescue operations. Guides must also carry firearms, for which prior permits must be obtained.



+ -

DIRECT BOOKINGS


We are not a tourist events broker. We prepare, organize and lead our own expeditions, and we own and maintain our own yacht. You will meet us during the trip and we will be the ones to contact you after your return.



+ -

STAYING IN TOUCH


We take care of our expedition participants. Already during the trip preparations, we remain in constant contact, and once on site, we strive to quickly build personal relationships that allow for a richer travel experience. After returning, we stay in touch, inviting our participants to take part in our projects. From time to time, we surprise them with something special.
