Why we love it
With the largest fleet of tenders in the charter market and a history unlike any other, ARCTIC is an icon of exploration and reinvention. Originally launched in 1969 as an ice-class salvage tug, she was transformed by Australian billionaire Kerry Packer into the world’s first true luxury expedition yacht, a vessel that redefined what adventure on the ocean could mean.
Her strength and soul remain untouched, but her 2025 refit has elevated every detail, fusing industrial pedigree with refined elegance. From her vast heli deck and private cinema to her global range and extraordinary crew, ARCTIC offers something no other yacht can, a legacy of fearless exploration, reborn for a new generation of travellers who demand more than luxury.
