Sailing itineraries

Departure at 18:00

Located on the main island of the Svalbard archipelago, Longyearbyen is the northernmost territorial capital on the planet. With winter temperatures reaching minus 40°C, the landscape of this mining town is breathtaking. Glaciers, mountains as far as the eye can see and untamed nature give you the impression of entering an unexplored land.
 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Longyearbyen Hornsund
Nestled between millennia-old glaciers and carved mountains, Spitsbergen is considered “the crown... see+ of Arctic Norway”, a place that never knows night. During your cruise, you'll get closer to this fascinating island, and more specifically to the Hornsund fjord. Considered the most southerly of the Svalbard archipelago's fjords, it is best known for being the most beautiful. At the end of its immense bay, eight great glaciers descend slowly to the sea before giving way to numerous icebergs, drifting elegantly on its cold, mysterious waters. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Hornsund Bellsund
You'll head for the Bellsund fjord, to follow in the footsteps of the first explorers from the... see+ Norwegian coast, or those of the many trappers in search of game and trophies. Surprisingly rich in wildlife, the arms of the fjord separate to form two verdant valleys. Let your imagination run wild in this majestic natural setting, where time seems to stand still. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Bellsund Sailing to the ice floe
Your captain will navigate until he reaches the ice frontier, the edge of the pack ice. Weather and... see+ ice conditions permitting, you'll be lucky enough to be able to take a zodiac out for a unique moment amidst the drifting sea ice floes. In addition to the grandiose experience of sailing among these “floes” with their jagged, bluish edges, sometimes more than 2 meters thick, this is also often an opportunity to encounter the special fauna of the pack ice: birds, seals and polar bears. 
Activities: Includes: Zodiac outing, see+
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Sailing to the ice floe Liefdefjorden Monacobreen
Despite the name, we're not in Texas, nor in a bar, but in an unusual place in the high Arctic.... see+ Texas Bar is an old trapper's hut once used by Arctic fox and polar bear hunters. The cabin, still in place, offers a rudimentary interior with bunk beds and kitchen utensils. Located at the entrance to Liefdefjorden (the “fjord of love”), it rests peacefully in a landscape of moss-, lichen- and flower-covered hills. The color-changing cliffs, much frequented by birds, complete the beauty of the panorama. A short hike to the heights will allow you to admire the superb view of the Monaco glacier, further south.

Located in the north-west of the Svalbard archipelago, the Monaco Glacier is probably one of the most beautiful and majestic glaciers in Spitsbergen. Named in honor of Prince Albert I of Monaco, it stands like an impenetrable wall of jagged, bluish reflections, the last glacier before reaching 80° north latitude. The cracking sound of the ice breaking away to tumble into the surrounding transparent waters will immerse you in a unique atmosphere. To complete the magic of the scenery, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of polar bears and whales, which are particularly fond of this area.
 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Monacobreen Raudfjorden Smeerenburgfjorden
Raudfjorden means “red fjord”, from the color of the sandstone of the surrounding mountains.... see+ Along the west coast of this 20 km-long fjord, cut by numerous shallow bays, you can admire some of the most spectacular ice fronts in Spitsbergen. At the end of the fjord, two branches lead to the magnificent Chauveaubreen and Raudfjordbreen glaciers, which are 3 km wide. To the east, Alicehamna beach at Bruceneset headland has seen trappers, fishermen and explorers come ashore for centuries, as witnessed by the “Raudfjordhytta”, a Swedish trapper's hut built in 1927.

Located in the extreme north-west of the Svalbard archipelago, at the crossroads of oceanic and arctic influences, Smeerenburg is a former Dutch whaling colony south of the island of Amsterdamøya. In a landscape of steep hills, plateaus, lakes and lagoons, you'll come ashore on a sandy beach. Dotted with driftwood and the remains of ovens used to melt whale blubber, this is one of Spitsbergen's most important archaeological sites. At the height of whaling activity, 200 men worked here, and many are buried here.
 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Smeerenburgfjorden Ny Alesund Kongsfjorden
During your cruise, discover Ny-Ålesund, a former mining town now transformed into a scientific... see+ base. Founded in 1916, this small community was the starting point for many Arctic expeditions, including those of the famous explorer Roald Amundsen. Be sure to visit its museum and famous post office, considered the most northerly in the world!

Near the old mining town of Ny-Ålesund, discover King's Bay and the wonderful surprises it has in store for you. Your ship will enter one of Svalbard's most beautiful fjords: Kongsfjorden (King's Fjord), the gateway to grandiose landscapes. Here, snow-capped mountains are reflected in the water, where superb icebergs rival each other in beauty, much to the delight of photographers. Seals, reindeer, barnacle geese and black guillemots frequent this unique setting. Once at the end of the fjord, admire Kongsbreen (King's Glacier) and its three distinctive rocky points, named after three Scandinavian countries: Svea (Sweden), Dana (Denmark) and Nora (Norway).
