A quiet wonder

One of the Arctic’s most elegant small ships, Polarfront offers a feeling of luxury and style. She offers an on deck sauna and hot tub, spacious cabins, and a large guest lounge and dining room. She is a large, stable vessel that offers home-from-home comforts for just 12 guests.

Large guest areas

The communal areas aboard Polarfront are among her many charms, with plenty of room to kick back and share stories in the dining saloon and guest lounge.

Stable and adventurous

Polarfront benefits from advanced stabilisation which reduces rolling motion. Her ice-strengthened hull means she matches her stability with an adventurous spirit, charging her way into the Arctic ice.

Sail in near-silence

A 2024 retrofit has made Polarfront one of the quietest ships in the Arctic.

Why Secret Atlas?

There's a certain spirit that yearns to venture where few have gone, to feel the wilder side of life, and embrace the unknown. 

We are guided by that spirit.

We help others discover a world much bigger than the ones they encounter day-to-day, then explore it the way it deserves to be explored – with appreciation, time, and in harmony with nature.
