Would-be grooms will have an excuse for getting cold feet if they go on the world’s most extreme stag do – to the North Pole.
Only around 1,000 people get to the area each year, and organisers are convinced the trip will be the first ever stag group to reach the North Pole, calling it “an extreme stag do for guys who want to make history.”
Last Night of Freedom, which specialises in trips for both stag and hen parties, is the company offering the new trip.
The five-night arctic adventure costs £24,999 per person which includes all flights, an expert polar guide, helicopter rides, food and the thermal equipment for the -35C temperatures at the Pole.
Intrepid stag parties will fly to Longyearbyen in Svalbard, Norway, on a Wednesday night where they will be introduced to their guides.
Groom and guests will be treated to a ‘hearty three course meal’ which will include dishes of seal, reindeer and even whale meat.
The next day, the stag party will blow off any hangover with a crash course in cross-country skiing.
All participants will be given thermal clothing and ‘equipment pack’ including extra food, torches and emergency flares should anyone get lost.
On the Friday, the stag party will fly two-and-a-half hours to Base Camp at Barneo Ice Station – around 30 miles from the North Pole.
The ice runway at Barneo is only open for two weeks every April so stag groups are warned to plan their once-in-a-lifetime trip with that in mind.
Lunch and dinner will be served in a specially designed heated tent, where groom and guests can prepare for the final push to the pole.
The next morning, the party will be flown by helicopter and dropped around three miles from the North Pole.
Participants will complete the final part of the journey to the most northerly point of the world by cross country ski.
Once there, they will camp overnight and celebrate their mission with caviar and champagne.
The party will also have the chance to build the most northerly snowmen in the world and make a satellite call home to family, friends and fiancees.
The following day, the group will return to Longyearbyen by helicopter.
At the end of the epic stag do, all participants will be presented with an official North Pole Diploma proving they completed the expedition.
Matt Mavir, the company’s managing director, said: “There is nothing else like this on the market for stag groups.”
