Welcome to Aurora’s Jewels of the Arctic expedition, an extraordinary 15-day journey spanning three Arctic seas. Explore Svalbard, a world of near-endless daylight, where polar bear sightings quicken your pulse, walrus haul out on sea ice and guillemot cries echo from towering cliffs. The expedition begins with a hotel stay and charter flight from Oslo to Longyearbyen.
In East Greenland, you will sail deep into the world’s largest fjord, Scoresbysund, and visit Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the world’s remotest Inuit settlements. You will cruise among iridescent icebergs sculpted into fantastic shapes and walk across tundra blooming in brightly coloured flowers. The voyage balances wilderness and culture, offering Zodiac-cruises along vast glacial fronts and the chance to learn about the history and culture of the Inuit people.
Highlights:
Watch arctic fox hunt beneath towering cliffs that are home to enormous colonies of guillemots and fulmars.
In Svalbard, push through pack ice, watch for polar bears and ringed seals.
Quietly approach musk oxen and reindeer on tundra walks.
Zodiac-cruise along vast glacial fronts and into Øfjord as sunset paints the surrounding 2,000-metre (6,562-feet) walls a vibrant pink.
Marvel at the ancient geology of East Greenland, where mountains are painted in stripes by nature’s brush and fjords are surrounded by walls of various shades of pinks, oranges and purple.
Learn about the history and culture of the Inuit people, who have inhabited this region for centuries.
