Itinerary

Oslo Longyearbyen
After a flight from Oslo, your adventure begins with a night in the world's northernmost town:... more+ Longyearbyen.

A colorful frontier settlement with more snowmobiles than inhabitants, Longyearbyen is a unique place on the edge of the Arctic wilderness. If you have some time, take the opportunity to explore it before enjoying a free and peaceful evening. 
Breakfast

Diner
Longyearbyen
After breakfast, it’s time to explore Longyearbyen, a town perfectly suited for a walking tour.... more+ Stroll along the main street, where you might spot a roaming Svalbard reindeer—a wild yet curious animal that is unafraid of humans.

Before boarding the ship in the afternoon to continue your Arctic adventure, join an included excursion and be amazed by this remarkable region inspired by polar bears at the top of the world. And if you’d like to learn more about Longyearbyen’s unique setting, feel free to take part in our optional pre-program. 
Activities: Including: Excursions to discover Longyearbyen, more+
Breakfast

Longyearbyen Ny Alesund
Today, you will discover the serenity of Ny-Ålesund and its surrounding fjords, including... more+ Krossfjord and Kongsfjord. Enjoy a true day of pause, as the proximity to the Norwegian Mapping Authority’s geodetic station requires us to disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Ny-Ålesund, one of the northernmost settlements in the world and a former mining town, was the starting point for Roald Amundsen’s expeditions north aboard his airship Norge. Today, it has become an international center for scientific and climate research while preserving remnants of its past.

Exploring the fjords around Ny-Ålesund immerses you in breathtaking ice-covered landscapes. Adventure awaits as we take every opportunity to launch our small expedition boats, go ashore for a hike, or navigate alongside majestic glaciers. 
Activities: Including: Discovery of Ny-Ålesund, Exploration of the Krossfjord and Kongsfjord, more+
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
Ny Alesund North West National Park
Over the next three days, you will explore the natural beauty and rugged tundra of the Northwest... more+ Spitsbergen National Park. This wild expanse, dotted with steep mountains, austere glaciers, and magnificent islands, offers opportunities to search for Arctic wildlife: whales, seals, walruses, and reindeer. If we’re truly fortunate, we might even spot the elusive polar bear from the ship's observation deck. In the stunning Kongsfjord region, you may witness impressive glaciers calving icebergs into the sea. 
Activities: Including: Excursions to the Northwest National Park, more+
Breakfast

North West National Park
Get ready for adventure! Whenever the opportunity arises, we will use our kayaks or small... more+ expedition boats to go ashore for hikes or participate in a beach clean-up.

Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
North West National Park Sailing to the ice floe
If ice conditions allow, we will sail north and cross the 80th parallel to explore the pack ice and... more+ its ever-changing landscape. The transition zone between the ice cap and the sea is a magical yet fleeting place, with waters dotted with sea ice and drifting icebergs. From our ship, you may spot seals and walruses basking on the sparkling ice. If conditions permit, we’ll launch our expedition boats for an unforgettable experience up close to the floating ice.

The pack ice is not a fixed boundary: it shifts with the seasons and weather, so this experience is not guaranteed, despite our best efforts to make it possible. In summer (May to August), the ice retreats further toward the pole, which may put it beyond our reach. In this case, we will explore the deep fjords, mighty glaciers, and enchanting landscapes of the Spitsbergen coast, which are just as impressive. Between late July and early August, wildflowers bloom, covering the landscape in a burst of color. 
Activities: Including: Seal and walrus observation, more+
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
Sailing to the ice floe Spitsbergen
At this stage of your journey, expect anything. The adventure in its purest form continues. If the... more+ ice conditions allow, we will venture towards the frozen marine landscapes of the East Coast of Spitsbergen.

Although elusive, there are strong chances you will spot a polar bear over the next two days. We will also remain on the lookout for walruses, Brünnich’s guillemots, and other seabirds in the Hinlopen Strait. Afterward, we may head south to Freeman Strait and Kapp Lee or depart to Edgeøya or Barentsøya aboard our expedition boats. 
Activities: Including: Exploration of the East Coast of Spitsbergen, more+

Spitsbergen
In true expedition style, our final itinerary will depend on the conditions of the day. Wake up the... more+ explorer within you with hikes, kayaking excursions, and exhilarating landings.

And if the ice blocks our passage through the Hinlopen Strait, you will experience an equally thrilling adventure at the heart of the wonders of western Svalbard. We will follow a flexible route between deep fjords and glaciers spilling into the sea, in search of remarkable Arctic wildlife. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
Spitsbergen Hornsund
Your expedition cruise continues south towards Hornsund, one of the most beautiful fjords of... more+ Spitsbergen. Rich and colorful vegetation gives way to towering mountains that line this waterway. Step out onto the deck to spot seals and whales, Mount Hornsundtind, and glaciers spilling into the sea. 
Activities: Including: Exploration of Hornsund and Bellsund, more+
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
Hornsund Bellsund
We will then head towards Bellsund and its snow-capped peaks, whose cliffs are home to large... more+ colonies of auks, guillemots, and northern fulmars, above Arctic foxes and reindeer in the Spitsbergen lowlands. Look out for the remnants of the first mining communities and learn about Wanny Woldstad, the first female trapper.

Our activities will depend on the weather conditions in Hornsund and Bellsund. Your expedition team will determine the best opportunities for exploration on the day. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Diner
Bellsund Longyearbyen
Your Arctic adventure is coming to an end as we return to Longyearbyen. Transfer to the airport for... more+ your return flight. You will return home with a head full of knowledge about Arctic wildlife and history, polar ice, and climate change, as well as unforgettable memories.

And if you don't want to say goodbye to the region, extend your stay in the Arctic by participating in our optional post-program!
