Included

Experience an extraordinary Svalbard adventure aboard a small and comfortable expedition ship with a capacity for 50 passengers! In June, the midnight sun reigns supreme and bird colonies are bursting with life while spectacular mountain ranges are beautifully covered in snow. The journey begins with a hotel night in Longyearbyen before embarking to sail through the magnificent Arctic nature. During seven nights on board, we will sail along shimmering glaciers and make constant landings to behold landscapes where spring has arrived and ice still maintains its mystical grip over the islands.

Our expedition focuses on observing iconic wildlife, including walruses, seals, and the majestic polar bear. We will explore historical sites such as Dansk�ya, the starting point for heroic attempts to reach the North Pole, and sail through spectacular fjords like the Fjord of Love and Kongsfjorden.
