Here is how we can assist you with your research or science expedition:
Research Vessel Charter
We have a range of Arctic expedition vessels available for charter either from our own fleet or from our partners fleet. Our fleet includes an icebreaker, ice strengthened expedition motor vessels, and expedition sailing yachts.
Our partner fleet includes over 50 expedition vessels, so we have every type of vessel covered for your research or science expedition.
By chartering directly through Secret Atlas ensure you pay the best price for your Research Vessel Charter. You will be guaranteed a vessel that meets all the safety requirements and is crewed by a highly experienced team of professionals. Our captains have decades of experience navigating Arctic waters and getting researchers to where they need to be.
We can accommodate every need including large storage areas that can carry a submersible through to shallow draft vessels that can access more shallow bays.
Our vessels come fully crewed including a chef and include all meals onboard.
As every research expedition is different it is good to understand your requirements so we can tailor a vessel to suit your expedition.
Please contact us with your requirements and we will do the rest.

“Ultimately, the survey exceeded expectations and included major successes such as mapping to the faces of several major marine- terminating glaciers.
Of these, the collection of data in Upernavik Fjord stands apart as a particularly remarkable achievement given the exceptional challenge of safely navigating the extremely heavy ice conditions caused by the fjord’s numerous calving glaciers. “
