Things to know

An archipelago carved into the Arctic Circle, Lofoten is so far removed from typical routes that it remains one of Norway’s best-kept secrets, fully revealed only to those who explore it by sea. On this private sailing expedition, we’ll spend five to seven days navigating these iconic fjords, where towering peaks rise from impossibly blue waters. In winter, we’ll ski slopes that drop straight into the sea. Summer brings hikes to hidden spots where our footprints might be the only ones ever made. When the day winds down, we’ll return to a boat like no other—a former naval minesweeper turned luxury adventure vessel, rich with stories of its own and meals that redefine the meaning of “gourmet.” This is Lofoten as few ever experience it—raw, unfiltered, and all yours for the taking.

Stunning, no matter the season

Life on board

HMS Gåssten adventure vessel

HMS Gåssten is a beautifully restored warship, now the perfect adventure vessel for explorers seeking comfort. Once a wooden-hulled minesweeper, she offers a rustic yet luxurious escape in the heart of the Lofoten archipelago. With four thoughtfully designed cabins—two doubles, one double with a Pullman bed, and one twin—you’ll sleep soundly in style, surrounded by rich wood paneling and soft Nordic linens. Each cabin is equipped with an ensuite shower room, ocean-friendly products, and plenty of storage space for your belongings.

You’ll gather in the spacious and inviting saloon around an enormous handcrafted oak table surrounded by L-shaped seating and huge windows for 270-degree views of the stunning Lofoten coastline. Up on the top deck, you’ll get an unobstructed view of wildlife, dramatic landscapes, and, in winter, the Northern Lights. Whether you’re relaxing in your cabin or taking in the raw beauty of the surroundings, HMS Gåssten is the perfect place to recharge after the kind of days you’ll remember forever.

Gourmet at sea

Aboard HMS Gåssten, food is an adventure in itself. From breakfast to dinner, everything is crafted with care using fresh, local ingredients. The onboard chef sources the very best from Lofoten’s waters and lands—whether it’s foraged herbs or fish caught by you! Each meal reflects the changing seasons and the region’s best, with a mix of Norwegian and European influences.

You’ll kick things off every day with a hearty breakfast, followed by a two-course lunch or picnic, and a satisfying three-course dinner. Drinks are served on the top deck when the weather’s good, and after soaking in the views, you’ll move inside for a cozy dinner around the handmade oak table.

You’ll enjoy your meals with a choice of house wines paired with the day’s menu. Local beers, soft drinks, and spirits will be on board too, but if you fancy bringing your own wine, you’re more than welcome to!
