Longyearbyen
Your journey begins in Longyearbyen, the main town of the Svalbard archipelago and the true gateway... see+ to the High Arctic. Nestled amid spectacular landscapes of mountains, glaciers, and tundra, this former mining town is now the starting point for many polar expeditions. You’ll have some free time to explore Longyearbyen at your own pace before boarding, scheduled for around 5 p.m. After you’ve settled into your cabin and received safety instructions, the ship will cast off and set sail for the vast wilderness of Spitsbergen, where an extraordinary adventure in the heart of the Arctic begins.
