Cape Race

Cape Race offers a unique and exclusive approach to exploring the oceans, especially the polar regions. Unlike traditional cruises where the experience can be diminished by the presence of numerous other passengers and geographical distance, "Cape Race" expeditions are designed to offer more intimate and immersive experiences. The focus is to allow travelers to deeply engage with the sublime landscapes and natural world of the Arctic, living the experience in an up-close and authentic manner.
In partnership with Leguan Reisen, the company boasts extensive experience in Arctic exploration, led by the passion and expertise of Nikolaus Gelpke, the ship’s owner and a qualified marine ecologist. The company’s philosophy is rooted in ecological awareness and sustainability, promoting a respectful and responsible experience towards nature. According to the founder’s guiding principle, "you can only love what you know, and you can only preserve what you love," the company emphasizes the importance of a deep experience that contributes to the preservation of marine environments.
