The itinerary is a guide only and is subject to change due to weather and ice conditions. Your Captain and Expedition Leader will make the necessary adjustments to ensure the best possible experience.
This expedition offers a true immersion into Svalbard’s breathtaking wilderness in one unforgettable week. Sailing as close as possible to the northern pack ice, the preferred summer habitat of polar bears, we will explore pristine environments where reindeer and Arctic foxes prepare for winter. The journey blends iconic wildlife watching with the discovery of historical sites, from 16th-century whaling blubber ovens to modern scientific stations, allowing for a deep connection with the most untouched polar environment.
Aboard an ice-class vessel specifically built for these waters, you will traverse stunning fjords framed by dramatic mountains and towering glaciers. We will visit Earth’s northernmost settlement, Ny-Ålesund, and venture toward rocky islands almost barren of vegetation that host a rich variety of birdlife. Each day presents an opportunity to witness the secrets of one of the planet's most dynamic habitats, where the sea ice stretches toward the North Pole, creating a backdrop of unparalleled beauty and constant discovery.
Highlights:
Sailing along the edge of the Arctic pack ice in search of the polar bear.

Exploration of 16th-century historical whaling sites in Northwest Svalbard.
