Under the ice, in your own submarine.

An ice-class expedition yacht chartered whole, with a three-person submarine and a helicopter on board.

A week on Legend holds the sea floor, the ice and the air above it.

Legend is an ice-class expedition yacht, chartered whole for up to 26 guests. She carries a three-person submarine and, if you wish, a helicopter, so the same morning can begin beneath the floes and end on a ridge no ship can reach.

The EYOS expedition team chooses each dive by the light and the ice. A pilot takes two guests at a time below the surface; between dives there are kayaks among the bergs, landings by tender, and whales close to the hull.
