Taking to the sea to think about the work of tomorrow.
What should be entrusted to artificial intelligence? Which skills should be cultivated? What place should be given to judgement, creativity and human relationships? An expedition to clarify your choices and imagine a transformation that is useful to your business and your teams.
Far from daily demands, take the time to examine what AI is changing in your work. Concrete cases and peer-to-peer exchanges to identify relevant uses, understand their limits and prepare their adoption.
Identifying the tasks that are evolving and the skills to develop.
Examining applications according to their usefulness, feasibility and risks.
Questioning data, reliability, environmental impact and human oversight.
Preparing a first experiment and the conditions for its adoption.
Executives, entrepreneurs, business leaders and decision-makers wishing to understand AI and steer the transformation of their organisation.
Clearer priorities and a first roadmap for experimenting with AI while preserving what makes the human value of your business.
Taking to the sea and letting the unexpected shape the voyage.
Board the Captain Arctic, our exceptional solar sailboat, for a unique adventure in the heart of Spitsbergen. Let yourself be carried by the magic of silent sailings, where imposing glaciers and sparkling sea ice reveal a breathtaking world.
As the voyage unfolds, you cross the three great landscapes that shape the Arctic: the colourful tundras, the steep mountains and the immense ice caps that dominate the archipelago.
With nearly 65% of its territory covered by national parks and nature reserves, Svalbard is home to exceptional wildlife: polar bears, whales, reindeer, Arctic foxes, seals and vast seabird colonies thrive in these preserved territories.
The expedition is also an opportunity to discover the extraordinary history of the explorers, hunters and scientists who marked these high latitudes, through Zodiac landings and visits to research stations set in the heart of the archipelago.
An authentic polar adventure, as close as possible to nature and to the great challenges of the Arctic world — a Satkāra experience to nourish your curiosity, share your discoveries and rediscover the pleasure of wonder.
Our itineraries depend on weather and ice conditions.
8 days and 7 nights from Longyearbyen, capital of Svalbard — glaciers, sea ice and Arctic wildlife, along the fjords of Spitsbergen.
Arrival in Longyearbyen, capital of Svalbard. Guided visit of the museums of the archipelago and of polar exploration, then a trapper’s dinner.
Boat excursion to Pyramiden, a ghost town born of Soviet coal. Lunch in the old restaurant and discovery of the impressive Nordenskiöld glacier.
The surrounding colourful tundras and sled-dog kennels. Embarkation at the end of the day aboard the Captain Arctic and first sailing in the Isfjord.

Crossing the 80th parallel north. The ice caps of Nordaustlandet and the immense bird colony of Alkefjellet.
Exploring the north-western archipelago, a land of sharp peaks and glaciers, as close as possible to untouched nature.
Kongsfjorden (the King’s Bay) and its icebergs, its crown-shaped summits, and the international research station of Ny-Ålesund.
Return to Longyearbyen. Disembarkation and transfer to the town or the airport, with images to last a lifetime.
Activities on board, time dedicated to our theme and useful information to make the most of every stage.
Beyond the explorations, several moments of the voyage are devoted to our theme: responsible AI, the transformation of work and the skills of tomorrow. On board or ashore, between two sailings, we set aside time for exchange and work designed to learn, confront perspectives and move your projects forward. Workshops punctuate the voyage — shared experiences, concrete cases and collective reflections led with the other participants and speakers. The formats remain flexible and adapt to the rhythm of the expedition: the precise programme takes shape day by day, leaving room for encounters and landscapes.
Throughout the voyage, a dedicated lecturer accompanies you in French to shed light on the landscapes, wildlife and territories crossed.
On average +5 °C.
For nationals of the European Union and Switzerland: a valid national identity card or passport. For other nationalities, the formalities should be checked according to your situation.
All excursions on the programme are included. Depending on the stage, discoveries are made on foot, by Zodiac, taxi, car or minibus. Some visits are free-form, so you can explore at your own pace.
Kayak outings are offered when the weather allows. Activities adapt to conditions on site.
We can organise your flights according to your preferences to Longyearbyen, capital of Svalbard and starting point of the expedition, depending on availability and connections.
Five highlights that make the soul of this expedition.
Sailing through a preserved Arctic, along the fjords and glaciers of Spitsbergen, at the silent rhythm of solar sail.
Discovering the wild soul of Svalbard, between end-of-the-world towns, colourful tundras and relics of the polar adventure.
Marvelling at the lights of the North, under a midnight sun that never sets and bathes the sea ice in an unreal glow.
Watching for encounters with wildlife, as polar bears, walruses, whales and vast bird colonies reveal themselves along the way.
Exploring Longyearbyen, gateway to the Far North, between polar exploration museums and boreal horizons.
Beyond the landscapes, this voyage carries the Satkāra spirit: time for encounters, the pleasure of slowing down and of wonder. You weave shared memories, real business opportunities emerge, and you return richer for everything you have learned — from others, from the territories and from yourself.
