Highlights

  • Marvel at rugged landscapes home to iconic wildlife as we attempt to circumnavigate the entire Svalbard archipelago during the Arctic summer. 
  • Venturing above the 80th parallel and east around Nordaustlandet, you’ll sail through dramatic fjords, past sparkling glaciers and soaring mountains over several days in the archipelago.   
  • Discover Northwest Spitsbergen National Park, explore the ever-changing ice edge, and look out for Arctic wildlife including whales, reindeer and the elusive polar bear.

Wild nature, untamed scenery 

Going further east than any of our other Svalbard expeditions, our goal is to fully circumnavigate the Svalbard archipelago – ice conditions permitting. Whether you opt to experience the ever-changing icescape of early summer, or see the kaleidoscope of colour later in the season, you’ll be immersed in incredible scenery and see iconic wildlife, with several days dedicated to exploring. 

Land of infinite wonder 

Svalbard contains vast and pristine nature reserves where few humans ever set foot. It’s the domain of seabirds, such as Brunnich’s Guillemots and kittiwakes, as well as mammals like reindeer, walruses and seals. Early in the season, we’ll explore close to the northern ice edge, a landscape that becomes dotted with wildflowers as summer arrives. As we sail, we’ll be on the lookout for marine animals in the waters around us, including graceful and mighty whales.  

Adventure is all-inclusive

We believe that getting the most out of your trip shouldn’t be a luxury. That’s why daily adventures come at no extra cost (that’s on top of all-inclusive meals, drinks, wifi and more.)

Our expedition suites: the ultimate in space and style

Spacious, private, and with wide windows to watch the world drift by, suites are comfortable and calm havens at sea. On some ships, suites also offer a private balcony which may have an outdoor hot tub for added luxury.
