8-day expedition to northern Spitsbergen: between frozen fjords, spectacular landscapes and wildlife
Polar exploration in Spitsbergen
Life on board in the Arctic You will sail in northern Spitsbergen aboard a cozy and well-equipped expedition ship with comfortable cabins, indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, and a friendly atmosphere. Meals are shared in a simple and welcoming atmosphere, and the guides prepare you each day for the discoveries to come. The spectacle is also outside: ice floes as far as the eye can see, majestic glaciers, and polar silence. ##An immersion in the heart of the Arctic This trip is a real disconnect: here, there is no network, but the song of the wind on the ice, the cries of seabirds, and maybe even the trace of a bear on the ice floe.. You will explore icy fjords and remote islands, and get up close and personal with untamed nature. Each stopover is a surprise, and each day a new adventure in the beauty of an Arctic archipelago.
