One of the last true frontiers, nothing compares to the eerie beauty of cruising through the other‐worldly glacial walls of Antarctica and Greenland.

Edmiston’s knowledgeable team of charter brokers and destination experts are unrivalled when it comes to organising the best superyacht holiday imaginable, whatever your unique wishes and requirements. To explore Alaska like no other trip before, sail into Vancouver, one of the most picturesque cities, and explore Denali National Park, the largest protected eco system in the world.
Next, your crew can navigate past the legendary Mendenhall glacier to Juneau, keeping alert for whale watching. Take to the tenders or kayak up the Yukon and at all times be ready to meet the locals: moose, sea lions, bears and orcas.
In Alaska, meanwhile, explore the majestic Inside Passage, a labyrinth of fjords, islands, and glaciers that offers unrivalled beauty at every turn.
What a cooler voyage lacks in party atmosphere, it more than makes up for in peace, tranquillity and that deep magic of utter privacy. Whatever a cold cruising yacht charter might look like to you, Edmiston’s team will be there to shape the ultimate yacht charter experience every step of the way.
Edmiston’s team can tell you which of their enviable fleet of yacht charters has the best toybox for cold water cruising (many of them come packed with professional dive equipment, kayaks and tenders), which has the best chef to cater to specific dietary needs, and which yacht has the biggest panoramic deck for spotting whales from afar.
Avoid the heat and crowds of the Mediterranean yachting destinations with a cooler exploration to Antarctica, Alaska or Greenland. By visiting the Antarctic continent during the southern spring and summer seasons – especially November to January – you’ll enjoy nearly 24-hour sunlight and magnificent cold weather. Around this time of year, the midnight sun of summer sets in and the penguin chicks begin to hatch. Meanwhile, whale sightings are more common in late summer (February and March), when the chicks are also fledging, and ice recedes even further. Yachts for charter in these cooler regions range from motor yachts, sailing yachts, and mega yachts to the perfect superyacht, with new generations and custom amenities to fit your needs. Discover the world's largest fleet of luxury yachts, expertly curated by yacht management specialists and brokers, and set sail on your ultimate European charter adventure this summer.
