Travel Without Boundaries
To travel without boundaries sounds like a bold statement, but at OceanSky Cruises, we go above and beyond to create the most inventive and unique expeditions that otherwise become less possible or accessible by traditional ground and air transport. We have the opportunity to provide our guests access to remote locations and communities to experience new places authentically.
Proud Partnership
ONCE is proud to collaborate with Ocean Sky Cruises - Pioneering the future of sustainable travel. The partnership will give our ‘Ultra High Net Worth’ clients in India to be a part of the first season of expeditions to land on the North Pole in a modern airship and be part of history.
The Golden Era of Travel Reimagined
Experience the best in comfort and culinary craft while taking in views that haven’t been experienced in a century. We are bringing a new era to travel rooted in the deepest values of exploration, luxury, and sustainability. Airships can land and access the remote and unexplored corners of the world. Their size allows us to provide large and comfortable cabins, lounges, fine dining areas, and big panoramic windows. Given their unique lifting capabilities, energy efficiency is maximised making them one, if not the most, sustainable vehicles. Our first expedition will make history by landing an airship on the North Pole for the first time in history.
Our North Pole Expedition is a 36-hour long journey taking off and returning from Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Our airships are equipped with 8 cabins, where we welcome up to 16 passengers per departure for a fully inclusive experience from the moment one steps on board. We have also curated optional pre- and post-expedition programmes that are available for adventurers that would like to extend their excursion on Svalbard.

**According to the airship industry and our manufacturing partners, the first large-scale airships for commercial operations are estimated to be flown between 2024 and 2026.

FAQ's
WILL I SEE THE AURORA BOREALIS?
If you haven’t seen the Aurora Borealis yet, it will be an awe-inspiring experience Unfortunately, we aren’t able to promise that you will see them, but we can give some suggestions that will raise the chances.
The Aurora Borealis is a year-round phenomenon, however, the lights only become visible against a dark sky, so it is important that you travel when there is darkness, as well. Our season is mostly aligned with the summer months when the sun doesn’t set at all, so we suggest planning for the very first or very last weeks of our season.
WHERE IS SVALBARD? HOW DO I GET THERE?
Svalbard is an archipelago in the middle of the Arctic Ocean located approximately 700km from mainland Norway. It is known originally as a place for mining settlements but has since become a popular destination for its unique wildlife.
Getting to Svalbard is simple with daily flights arriving at the Svalbard Airport in Longyearbyen from Oslo and/or Tromsø through SAS and Norwegian airlines. If you find that you need assistance with your flight booking, reach out to us and we will be happy to assist.
COULD THE FLIGHT BE DELAYED? WHY?
Yes, it is possible that our flight could be delayed due to weather conditions including storms, wind, and ice. The weather in the Arctic can be unpredictable and the safety of our passengers is more important than an on-time departure.
However, with that being said, we do not expect more deviations than one would experience on a regular flight within Europe. Our airships are sturdy vehicles that can withstand heavy winds both on the ground and airborne.
HOW COLD IS IT AT THE NORTH POLE?
The North Pole is understandably very cold, but surprisingly not as frigid as it can be in other interior Arctic regions. During our flight season in the summer, one can expect the temperature will hover around 0°C (32°F). The temperature sinks in the winter to about - 40°C (-40°F), but the North Pole is a very dark and lonely place then. We don’t recommend a trip at that time.
