Helicopter Services

M/Y BOLD · The Northwest Passage · USD
Quoted separately, not included in the Indicative Expedition Total

Local helicopters can be chartered to join the vessel in Greenland & Canada. Helicopter charter is optional but highly recommended to maximise opportunities for viewing the arctic landscapes and spotting wildlife from the air.

In Greenland helicopters are available to charter from a local base so no positioning fees expected. Can be chartered per day with a maximum of 4 days in the area. Suggest chartering for the full 4 days. Quotes for the 2027 season will be sourced. For budgeting, example helicopter costs based on previous charters are shown.

In the Canadian Arctic region helicopters are not available for charter locally so must be positioned from bases further south. Positioning flights are long and add to the total cost. A helicopter can be chartered for all or some of the time in the Canadian portion of the itinerary. We suggest chartering for the duration to have maximum flexibility and opportunities to use the helicopter since the positioning costs will be the same for a long or short charter.
