Norwegian-born Co-Founder Karl Espen Fjermeros started his career with the trade publication Cruise Industry News in the 1990s prior to starting his own New York-based travel company Cruise Norway in 2000.

After 15 years, Cruise Norway was selling expedition cruises worldwide. This success caught the eye of a West Coast investor group and Cruise Norway was acquired. Espen has traveled numerous places in the world and on expedition ships in Antarctica, Arctic Svalbard and Far East Russia.

Espen listens to customers and relies on his own experiences to find the right expedition cruise for guests. Contact Espen at espen@epicpolar.com
