Day 1

Longyearbyen in the Norwegian Arctic

Your polar adventure begins today – embark the MS Expedition in the afternoon and depart Longyearbyen in the evening.

(Dinner included)

Day 2-7

Svalbard and Spitsbergen

Over the course of the next few days, you’ll journey through ice-covered fjords and stunning glaciers. There will be time to explore the breath-taking mountain scenery and seek out the native wildlife, such as polar bears hunting seals. You may also have the opportunity to see arctic foxes and Svalbard’s reindeer – each day’s activities will depend on the ice conditions and weather.

If you’re travelling early in the season, there will be fantastic views of large ice flows in the Arctic pack ice, so wildlife sightings are generally really good. If you’re travelling later in the season, you’ll cover more territory which means you’ll see more of the archipelago, such as the lesser-explored regions of Nordaustlandet and Kvitøya.

For a closer view of the scenery and wildlife you can hop into a Zodiac and will be brought to land to visit the historical sites and the tundra. Eyes are always pealed for polar bears as they can be found throughout the region although finding them often requires patience and persistence - join us on the search!

(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)
