Albatros Expeditions has appointed Jakob Lunøe as its new CEO, according to a press release.

With a background spanning the travel and technology industries, Lunøe brings experience in small-ship polar expeditions and expertise in digital transformation and customer engagement.

Lunøe said he aims to guide Albatros Expeditions toward becoming a more guest-focused company while maintaining its commitment to Nordic traditions and family values.

We have a very flat hierarchy, open communication and strong awareness of sustainability.” continued Lunøe. “My focus will be to combine our Nordic DNA with polar expeditions, offering a luxurious, yet accessible, Nordic expedition experience rooted in the beauty of polar nature.”
