In association with Boreal Yachting, CNCE proposes a one-week cruise in the Svalbard area (also known as Spitsbergen). The activity will take place on an OVNI 455 yacht chartered for CNCE and will include sailing, wildlife watching and trekking.

At this time there will be 24h daylight. Average temperatures are around 3-7°C and winds in the high Arctic in summer are generally light to moderate easterlies.

The arctic sailing season is short and there is very high demand. An early booking is essential and now is not too soon.

This activity is fully booked.

Cruise - Svalbard (Spitsbergen) 1 – 8 June 2024 - FULLY BOOKED

WHO WE ARE

The sailing club CNCE asbl (Cercle Nautique de la Commission Européenne) is accredited by the European Commission and a focal point for sea lovers working in the EU Institutions, promoting sailing practice and training. The club also aims at strengthening social and cultural relationships among its members outside the workplace, contributing to the integration of new staff (and their families) in the Institutions, while allowing retired staff to maintain contacts with colleagues who are still working. As a truly European club, the CNCE puts particular emphasis on promoting the symbols and principles of the European Union, thus contributing modestly yet passionately to sharing common values and forging a common identity across Europe.

WHAT WE DO

The CNCE offers EU staff, their families and friends a wide range of water-based activities and services, including:

day sailing, weekend and week-long sailing,
sailing on various types of dinghies and yachts; windsurfing,
sailing cruises in the North Sea, Channel Islands, Mediterranean, Baltic Sea, Canary Islands, even the Caribbean and beyond…
training courses, preparation for sailing licences,
local and international regattas,
family outings and cruises,
equipment, resources, discounts,
excursions to nautical festivals, boat shows,
social events.

HOW IT WORKS

Most if not all the activities of the CNCE rely on the voluntary work of members who wish to share their passion for sailing and the sea. Novice sailor or sea dog, you are very welcome to join, participate, learn or share your experience and most importantly, organise activities with the CNCE. The CNCE also collaborates with relevant organisations to facilitate the involvement of its members in water-based and social activities and events (training, cruises, regattas…).
