What are the payment options?
We offer full payment, low deposits (from just £500/$665 per person) and flexible monthly payment plans - full details are shown on the next step when booking, and we’re always here if you need to discuss options.
Are there any additional costs?
You’ll just need to book your own flights and airport transfers, and arrange personal travel insurance, plus cover the cost of any on-land meals and drinks.
What’s your cancellation and refund policy?
All deposits are non-refundable.
Cancellations made 60 days or more before your sail will receive a refund minus the deposit and any transaction fees. Cancellations made within 60 days of departure are non-refundable.
Refunds will be processed within 10 days of receiving your cancellation request.
If full payment isn’t made by the specified due date, any amount paid to date will be forfeited.
Where do we check in and set sail?
Your Nautica experience begins at the port of Tromsø, Norway. Check-in is from 3pm on the first day of your trip.
You’ll need to make your own way to the port - the nearest airport is Tromsø Airport (TOS), just 15 minutes away by taxi.
Do I need to be super fit?
Nope. These aren’t endurance expeditions. That said, many trips include walking, hiking, uneven terrain, or long days out and about. You should be comfortable being active for several hours at a time and willing to embrace a little discomfort now and then (that’s where the good stories come from).
Do I need sailing experience?
Sailing experience is not necessary! Our expert skippers and hosts are there to handle the yacht. You’re here to enjoy the experience.
Who are these trips for?
Curious, kind, adventurous people who want to experience a place with intention. You don’t need to be an extreme athlete or a hardcore traveler — just open-minded, reasonably fit, and excited to be somewhere new with a small group.
If you like good food, belly laughs, and a bit of adventure sprinkled in, you’ll fit right in.
