The journey covers 3,400 nautical miles / 6300 km and will take us as far north as 80.5 degrees to the world’s end, a place inhabited by only a few souls, among them polar bears and the other fabled animals of the Arctic. The return date to Stavanger is estimated to be on October 10, 2015.
For the duration of the journey, Barba will be manned by skipper Andreas B. Heide, US travel journalist Terry Ward, German photographer Daniel Hug and Norwegian explorer Jon Grantangen. We are also very pleased to have the Russian sailor Ivan Kutasov with us for the the sail from Stavang
