Svalbard
This shorter length Svalbard summer cruise takes place on our newest vessel, Vikingfjord with just 12 guests. The focus on this expedition is to spend a week exploring the wilderness, glaciers and wild nature in the north of Spitsbergen. Expect 24 hours of daylight, witness an array of Arctic wildlife in its natural home and undertake some short hikes ashore. All this with 2 expert guides and just 12 guests
- Exploration of the Svalbard Archipelago
- Expert Svalbard guides
- Arctic wildlife such as walrus and polar bears
- Impressive seabird cliffs
- Spectacular glaciers and towering mountains
- Zodiac cruising, hiking and photography opportunities
On board each Svalbard expedition there will be an experienced Captain, friendly crew and at least two naturalist guides on hand to offer advice and information throughout your trip. With a range of backgrounds, all of our expedition leaders have years of experience working aboard ships in Svalbard. Whether they focus on photography, wildlife, history, culture or a mixture of all these things, they are fascinating people who will greatly add to your Arctic experience.
En route to the pack ice - when you’re not looking out for whales and seabirds from the deck - your expedition leaders will host informative lectures on various local
topics. These informal lectures will range from the history of whalers in the Spitsbergen archipelago, to the effects of climate change on the habitats of Arctic wildlife offering you a greater understanding of the areas you will visit throughout your trip.
Stewart's Take
An intimate experience for great wildlife encounters!
