Style and adventure

Nanook is an ice-strengthened ocean-going motor yacht. She was previously owned by the Danish Authority before undergoing an extensive conversion into an explorer yacht of the highest comfort. She offers cruise-ship comfort on a small ship, with ensuite cabins and suites, a panoramic lounge and bar with large windows, stylish dining saloon, a sauna, and a jacuzzi.

What we love about Nanook

Dining area onboard MV Nanook

Classic style, modern specs

Constructed in 1968 as a Danish patrol ship, Nanook has a lot of history. But a 2021 refurb means she is built for modern-day expedition cruising.

Welcoming communal areas

With of-the-moment Scandinavian design, the communal areas of Nanook are light, airy, and welcoming.

Intrepid and strong

Her ice-strengthened hull means Nanook is strong, while her modest proportions make her agile, allowing for intrepid itineraries exploring the Arctic ice.

Room to relax

Despite her small size, Nanook is kitted out with spaces for you to relax in after a long day of exploration, including an on-deck sauna and hot tub.

Why Secret Atlas?

There's a certain spirit that yearns to venture where few have gone, to feel the wilder side of life, and embrace the unknown. 

We are guided by that spirit.

We help others discover a world much bigger than the ones they encounter day-to-day, then explore it the way it deserves to be explored – with appreciation, time, and in harmony with nature.
