    • Longyearbyen, Norway
    Explore colorful Longyearbyen. After breakfast, it's time to explore the world's northernmost town, a colorful frontier settlement where people are outnumbered by snowmobiles. Longyearbyen is perfect for exploring on foot. Stroll down the main street and you might see Svalbard reindeer pass by. Although wild, they're curious and gentle. Admire the polar bear-inspired art or visit the North Pole Expedition Museum. Before boarding your ship in the afternoon to continue your Arctic journey, join an included excursion after lunch, or try an optional electric bike, dog-sledding, or hiking tour. ...

    • Spitsbergen National Park, Norway
    Experience pristine Arctic wilderness. Over the next three days, you'll explore the natural beauty and rugged tundra of Northwest Spitsbergen National Park. Surrounded by steep mountains, stark glaciers, and beautiful offshore islands, we'll scan for Arctic animals, including whales, seals, walruses, and reindeer. If we're really lucky, we might even see the elusive polar bear hunting on the ice. In stunning Kongsfjord, you may see glaciers calving into the sea. Be ready for adventure - we'll seize any opportunity to launch our kayaks or use our small boats (RIBs) to go ashore to hike or help in a beach clean-up. ...

    • Freemansundet, Svalbard, Norway

    Scouting for polar bears, seabirds, and walruses. The frozen seascape of eastern Svalbard is home to the archipelago's largest population of polar bears. We have high hopes you'll see this elusive animal over the next two days. We will also scout for walrus and colonies of Brunnich's guillemots and other seabirds in the Hinlopen Strait. We may head south to Freemansundet and Kapp Lee or take our small boats (RIBs) to Edgeoya or Barentsoya. Your Expedition Team will set the daily itinerary. They'll monitor local ice and weather conditions to take you on exhilarating landings, hikes, and kayaking tours. ...

    • Hornsund, Norway
    Majestic glaciers, rich vegetation, and seabirds. As we sail toward the southernmost tip of Spitsbergen, we'll enter Hornsund, one of Svalbard's most beautiful fjords. Rich, colorful vegetation transforms into towering mountains along this picturesque waterway. Head out on deck to spot seals and whales, admire Mount Hornsundtind, and watch glaciers calving into the sea. The green patches of land you'll see here are fertilized by little auk colonies. This in turn attracts Svalbard reindeer and Arctic foxes, so keep your eyes peeled. In the evening, we'll journey north toward Isfjord, past beautiful Bellsund. ...

    • Isafjorden, Norway
    Witness living history and ecology. Our Svalbard circumnavigation continues into Isfjord's lush fjord system, where you'll see immense, glacier-carved valleys rich in wildlife, vegetation, and human history. To the north, Alkhornet is home to guillemots, kittiwakes, Svalbard reindeer, and Arctic foxes. Clear traces of the area's whaling and hunting past are visible on beaches and in bays. Farther south, we'll pass the former Isfjord Radio satellite communication station, which is now one of the world's most beautifully situated hotels. Today's activities will be determined by the ever-changing weather conditions in Isfjord. Each day, your Expedition Team will decide on the best options for exploring. ...

You'll return home knowing more about Arctic animals, history, polar ice, and climate change than when you arrived. You'll also have lifelong memories from this incredible experience. Before your flight back to Oslo, you'll have time to explore more of Longyearbyen and do a bit of shopping - perhaps you'll pick out a warm Svalbard sweater. ...
