The Vessel

A private base on the water

Archipelago is the flagship of Northern Yachting AS — an expedition motor catamaran built for extended private journeys through the fjords and islands of Northern Norway. The twin-hull design delivers exceptional stability and a generous deck, making her an ideal platform for whale watching, northern lights cruises and wildlife photography. Inside, a warm, fully insulated interior with a heated saloon and panoramic windows lets guests stay out for several days, waking in a different fjord each morning. She is the mobile base for our most exclusive journeys — whale adventures from Lodge Havnnes, sea-to-summit ski touring to remote peaks and multi-day photography expeditions. Onboard dining is prepared by the crew, including Pelle, our marine biologist and chef. Operated from Tromsø with captain, guide and chef on every journey.
