YOUR TRIP

Embrace the wilderness of the Arctic Circle on a voyage around Norway’s Svalbard archipelago. The remote islands of Spitsbergen, Nordaustlandet and Edgeøya reveal their secrets as you explore rugged landscapes where wildflowers blossom under the midnight sun. Watch out for polar bears prowling the icy wilderness as beluga whales swim nearby, and black-legged kittiwakes swooping overhead as you sail through icy fjords, and past towering glaciers.

Trip Highlights

Take a stroll through the high street of Longyearbyen, the world’s most northerly town, and follow in the footsteps of polar explorers

Spy on hundreds of polar bears, walruses, whales and arctic foxes in their natural habitat

Itinerary

The world's most northerly town, Longyearbyen, on Spitsbergen, Svalbard's largest island, also claims the most northerly high street and pub. It's home to The North Pole Expeditions Museum chronicling early pole-reaching efforts by air. Nearby, Svalbard Global Seed Vault preserves duplicate seeds from gene banks worldwide. Arctic waters around are populated by whales, including bowheads and narwhals, while walruses are regularly seen hauling out.

Svalbard is the kingdom of the polar bears, deep in the Arctic Circle, featuring varied polar landscapes and gargantuan glaciers. Beyond magnificent fjords in the north, the remaining sea ice serves as prime hunting grounds for polar bears. Closer to Longyearbyen, tundra and beaches replace snow and ice. Alongside 600 polar bears, this Arctic hotspot is home to walrus, Svalbard reindeer, ringed seals and arctic fox
