The remarkable islands of the Svalbard archipelago are part of Norway and lay far to the north of the Norwegian mainland and high above the Arctic Circle. Here we hope for smooth sailing along the west coast of Spitsbergen as a result of the comparatively warm North Atlantic current. Amongst these fjords, we’ll witness wonderful scenery and often-prolific wildlife.
Day 1 : Longyearbyen
You fly into Longyearbyen on Spitsbergen Island, the main settlement of Svalbard. You will be met at Longyearbyen Airport or the meeting point: the Radisson SAS Polar Hotel and transferred to the pier, in time to board your ship. Once on board, our expedition team will make introductions and provide an overview of our journey to come. We’ll set sail from Longyearbyen in the evening, heading north from Adventfjorden. During the night we will pass the long island of Prins Karls Forland and then turn east into Kongsfjorden in the early hours
Days 2-10 : Around Svalbard
These days are spent exploring the coast, moving generally in a clockwise direction. There will be ample time for shore excursions where we can simply sit on the beach and take it all in, or enjoy energetic hiking, wildlife spotting or stunning zodiac cruises. Since our itinerary is difficult to predict due to ever-changing ice conditions, but no matter where we end up, it’s guaranteed that our explorations will be extraordinary. Some of the locations we may visit are: 14th of July Glacier, Ny Ålesund, Smeerenburg, Moffen Island, Sparreneset, Nordaustlandet and Hornsund. In these visits, we’ll probably get to see Arctic Terns, purple sandpipers, common eiders, barnacle geese, long-tailed ducks, kittiwakes, glaucous gulls, snow buntings, reindeer, walruses, seals and hopefully polar bears!
Day 11 : Longyearbyen
We conclude our journey, arriving back in Longbearbyen early this morning. After disembarking the ship after breakfast, you are transferred to either the Radisson Hotel or the airport.
