DISCOVER THE SHIP

A World-First in Sustainable Exploration

Meet Captain Arctic (yes it's her name).

Picture a vessel with impressive sails, powered by both wind and sun. Imagine its silence, its fairly low speed, leaving no trace and emitting 90% less emission than most of the boats of the region.

Its small size, 70-meter long, with only 36 passengers and 24 crew members onboard, allows no set itineraries, no mass standard experiences and further respect of the biodiversity.

THE PERFECT TOOL FOR EXPLORATION

Designed to reach the unknown.

An ice-strengthened hull, next-generation sonar, and a compact size allow Captain Arctic to navigate through ice, access remote and even uncharted areas, and bring you closer to the wild. More exploration.

More landings. More time outside. More adventure.

NEW TECH FOR LOW IMPACT

1. SOLAR SAILS : Our 35-meter-high sails can be retracted like a Swiss Army knife when needed. Built to endure the harshest weather, they are made of aluminum and fitted with 2000 m² of solar panels.

2. CLEAN ELECTRIC PROPULSION : When the sails can harness wind, our ship relies on two propeller shafts that produce energy and act as hydro turbines.

3. AUTONOMOUS WATER PRODUCTION : Our ship generates fresh water from the sea through reverse osmosis.

4. ORGANIC HEATING SYSTEM : In polar regions, heating usually relies on energy-intensive fuel boilers. Our ship pioneers a different approach with a pellet boiler that uses recycled wooden waste pellets.

5. ZERO WASTE POLICY AT SEA : several specialized systems onboard ensure we achieve this goal (organic food digester, a treatment tank that transforms black, gray water into technical potable water.)

WELCOME TO

THE BEST BASECAMP

AT SEA

Only Selar brings together worlds that have never truly coexisted before: low-impact travel, polar exploration and a new vision of luxury.

Forget everything you know about traditional cruising. At Selar, we design expeditions of a lifetime with great care, attention to detail and, of course, good sense.

The ship is not a floating resort. It is your shelter, your warm refuge at the edge of the world.

ENTER
THE LOUNGE

Take a seat, listen to stories of your fellow companions and enjoy the view while we're silently sailing through the fjords.

MEMORY MAKER

From the moment you step aboard, everything is designed to help you switch off and be fully present. We take care of every detail so you can fully embrace each moment, each emotion, and leave with memories that stay with you long after the journey ends.

TELEGRAM SERVICE

In a world of instant messages, we thought it might be nice to bring back the telegram. Throughout the voyage, guests can write a message to friends or family using our onboard Telegram Service. A slower, more thoughtful way to stay connected.

A FLOATING GALLERY

Curated by Joséphine Fossey, the ship is designed as a living exhibition. Photography, paintings, sculptures, textiles and unexpected pieces come together throughout the vessel, creating a journey of discovery, with a touch of wit, curiosity and irreverence.

LIVING LIBRARY

Guests and crew are invited to leave a Reader’s Note inside the books that moved them most. A recommendation or simply a few words for the next reader. Over time, the library becomes more than a collection of books. It becomes a collection of people, stories, and shared discoveries.

VINYL MOOD

Some journeys deserve a soundtrack. In the lounge, guests are invited to browse the vinyl collection, share their favourites, and fill the room with music that feels right for the moment. A ritual from another era, for a voyage that already feels a little outside of time.

WELCOME TO "THE GRAND MESS"

JOIN THE CHEF'S TABLE

Let yourself be guided. Here every meal is an moment of sharing and discovery.

No individual ordering. No menu.

Throughout the voyage, our chef will delight you with honest, generous cuisine, crafted with care and meant to bring people together.

A NORDIC FOOD STORY

Our cuisine draws inspiration from Nordic culinary traditions.

For breakfast, follow the aroma of freshly baked bread to discover our chef’s daily buffet made of homemade muesli, seasonal delights, or typical Nordic pastries.

Lunch Time. Between two adventures, take a well-earned break. Warm soup, comforting hot dishes and fresh desserts await at the buffet.

At diner, enjoy travel anecdotes and dishes like freshly caught Arctic salmon sushi or local algae and gravlax.

Forget the Champagne bar. Forget the wine list. A pairing chosen for you, every time.

No fuss, just discover.

THE BAR, HAVEN OF CONVIVIALITY

FEEL THE MAGIC

Here, food is not just about eating. It’s about sharing, celebrating, and embracing the moment. Expect a few surprises along the way, and memories you’ll talk about long after the journey ends.

LIVE COOKING

Our chefs don’t stay hidden in the galley. Throughout the voyage, they’ll step outside to cook, share, explain and surprise. Nordic traditions, unexpected locations and plenty of stories along the way. Because food always tastes better when it’s shared.

HOT WATER BOTTLE BAR

Some ships have caviar bars. We have a Hot Water Bottle Bar. After every expedition, help yourself to a warm hot water bottle. A small pleasure, perhaps. But after hours spent in the Arctic air, it feels like the greatest invention of all time.

UNEXPECTED TASTING

Throughout the expedition, our crew creates small food moments that appear when they’re needed most, turning simple pleasures into some of the journey’s most memorable memories.

LUNCH ON ICE

We take memory-making seriously. This is one example of what you could live with Selar.

TONIC OF WILDNESS

Take a seat and try our unique Arctic cocktails or draft beers brewed at 80° North. Who knows…you might sit beside a seasoned explorer or a scientist.

A NEW DAWN
ON THE ARCTIC

Wake up to sunlight streaming through the blinds and enjoy a warm, solar-powered shower with an Arctic view.
You might feel inspired by this internet-free morning to write a telegram before joining the life outside.

PRIVATE BATHROOM

After a day in the wild, step into your little bathroom sanctuary, steam rising, warmth returning, stillness all around.

TRY A NEW LUXURY

No key. No mini bar. No room service.
A thoughtful luxury that feels human.

2 SUITES AVAILABLE

Two 20 m² suites are also available on the upper deck with a big window.

COSY COCOONS

All cabins feature 15 m² of space, sea views, and the same signature six portholes. Beds can be separated on request.

WARMING UP

Whether you’re into running, stretching, rowing, weight lifting, or just love a good sweat, we’ve got you covered. Our gym and sauna facilities will keep you active and invigorated, no matter the time of the day, with a breathtaking view.

WELCOME
TO THE BRIDGE

The command bridge is always open: head there to chat with a member of the crew and discover if today is the day you’ll chart an unmapped territory or dive into 2° waters.
