Trip Details

The journey begins in Longyearbyen on Spitsbergen, the world’s northernmost town, where Arctic waters are home to whales and walruses and a rich history of polar exploration comes to life. From here, the expedition explores Svalbard, a vast High Arctic wilderness of dramatic fjords, immense glaciers, and shifting sea ice that forms prime habitat for polar bears, alongside reindeer, seals, and Arctic foxes. The voyage concludes back in Longyearbyen, where the stark beauty and isolation of this remote Arctic outpost leave a lasting impression.

Itinerary route map

Day 1 – Longyearbyen

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. Arctic waters around are populated by whales, including bowheads and narwhals, while walruses are regularly seen hauling out

Days 2- 10 : Svalbard

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
