SeilNorge invites travel partners to join a sailing trip across the Vestfjord in September!
Eco-friendly and sustainable travel to Lofoten
You are welcome to join SeilNorge on a sailing trip across the Vestfjord in September!
Why are you invited on a test trip?
Because we want to present our new product; Sail2Lofoten!
For a long time we have wanted to be able to offer pure transport by sailboat. And finally we do it! Traveling by sailboat is engaging, meaningful, exciting and sustainable. We have 15 years of experience with getting to a new place by sailboat, and we believe that it is something completely different than sitting on a ferry, taking a plane or bus.
What is our new product about?
This product is both a day experience by sailboat, a mini course in sailing and a way to get to and from Lofoten. To succeed, we depend on good cooperation with partners in the area on both sides of the fjord, Lofoten and Bodø.
Next summer we will launch Sail2Lofoten in the market, – and now we invite partners in Lofoten and Bodø on a test trip!
