Possibly The Most Expensive Ski Holiday Ever? James Orr Heliski Launches The Ultimate Heliski Trip For £1 Million Plus
James Orr Heliski in exclusive partnership with SuperYachtsMonaco has launched the ultimate heliskiing trip to Greenland based on a luxury super yacht that’s specially adapted to Arctic conditions.
The MV Cloudbreak sleeps up to 12 guests in 6 bedrooms and takes a crew of 22. With a helipad, maximum speed of 15 knots and a range of 8,500 nautical miles, it’s the ultimate base for a remote heliskiing adventure for those seeking a ‘Bondesque’ experience.
Guests will fly directly from the ship with mountain guides and dropped on some of the most inaccessible mountains in the world. After experiencing multiple heli drops through the day, they are flown back to relax in the Christian Liaigre designed interior where gourmet meals and fine wines will be served.
The whole experience costs around £1 million per week depending on requirements and when split between the maximum amount of guests, this makes it over £83,000 per person.
James Orr, founder of his eponymous company, said: “This really is the ultimate experience for the wealthy adventure seekers out there. Heliskiing has a reputation for being expensive, and despite the fact we have heliskiing holidays costing around £2,000 per person, this one is on the other end of the scale completely. Greenland is a spectacular place to ski and the remoteness means that it’s possible to drop onto unclimbed mountains and make first descents. The ship itself is like a cross between the most advanced military hardware on the sea and a luxury 5* hotel, it really is completely unique”.
- Dates: April and May, 2019
- Cost: from £1 million including 7 nights’ accommodation, food, private helicopter, guide, staff
