From Sicily’s enchanting archipelagos to Norway’s majestic fjords, these awe-inspiring destinations promise unrivalled beauty and adventure. And the very best way to experience them? By superyacht charter.
Peppering the Tyrrhenian Sea just off Sicily’s northeast coast, the a form a UNESCO-protected archipelago of volcanic wonder. Comprising seven distinct islands – Lipari, Panarea, Vulcano, Salina, Stromboli, Alicudi, and Filicudi – they have long captured imaginations. In ancient Greek mythology, these islands were believed to be the realm of Aeolus, the God of the Winds, famously visited by Odysseus in Homer’s epic.
Lipari, the largest and most bustling of the islands, serves as an ideal starting point. From here, set sail to Vulcano, famed for its striking black sand beaches and invigorating mud baths. Stromboli, with its eponymous active volcano, regularly performs a thrilling nightly display of magma fireworks.
Salina offers a more relaxed pace with its verdant landscapes and rich history. Drop anchor in Pollara Bay and snorkel above it’s extraordinary underwater crater. Panarea, the smallest yet most sophisticated of the islands, was in the 60s and 70s a summer retreat for Italy’s bohemian elite. Today, it remains a car-free haven of stylish boutiques, elegant hotels, and vibrant nightlife.
For ultimate seclusion, head west to the remote islands of Filicudi and Alicudi. Here, you can fish for your dinner, enjoy a barbecue on deck, and a cold glass of local wine amidst dramatic rock formations and crystal-clear waters.
Famed for its staggering natural beauty, cosmopolitan cities, and rich history, Norway is already a compelling destination. Its vast network of spectacular sapphire blue fjords and waterways make it unmissable by yacht.
Stretching over 100km in the southeast, the Oslo Fjord provides the perfect starting point. In the summer months, swim in its refreshing waters, hike among the colourful cabins on the islands or glide over the waves on a SUP-board. In the winter, warm up in a fjord-side saunas.
Oslo itself offers a dynamic contrast to the fjord’s serene beauty. The calm waters here are perfect for fishing and watersports, and activities like kayaking and canoeing let you enjoy the tranquil beauty of the fjord up close.
On the west coast, the historic city of Bergen is a gateway to unspoiled landscapes where ancient forests rise dramatically from deep fjords and expansive meadows appear to stretch into the horizon. Further north, the archipelago of Svalbard presents a strikingly different experience. Situated between mainland Norway and the North Pole, this remote region is one of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas; its rugged glaciers and tundra home to polar bears, Svalbard reindeer, and Arctic foxes. In winter, the Northern Lights create a spectacular, otherworldly display, while summer brings the “midnight sun,” with 24-hour daylight.
