Ocean Conservationists will be showcasing the incredible diversity of wildlife that can be spotted from the deck, helping everyone learn more about the marine environment around them whilst collecting vital data about whales, dolphins and porpoises to contribute to their protection.

What to expect on this sailing... The icy waters of Northern Norway is a known important winter feeding ground for huge aggregations of orca and humpback whales. Norway is also a hugely important area to monitor the health of minke whale populations, to monitor the impact of commercial whaling on minke whales in Norwegian waters.
