Originally from Italy, Francesca has always had a deep connection with the sea. This lifelong passion drew her North, where she began working on boats. Against the backdrop of the dramatic Arctic fjords, she fell completely in love with marine wildlife, developing a particular fascination with the region’s diverse birdlife and marine mammals. After gaining experience in the Norwegian whale watching industry, Francesca set out in search of a deeper relationship with nature. Her journey led her to Iceland, where the unique environment offers more intimate experience with whales — a profound connection she loves sharing with every guest on board.
