More Information
Circumnavigating Svalbard: The Ultimate Expedition From an icy wonderland to a rugged land bursting with life, join us as we attempt to circumnavigate the entire Svalbard archipelago during the Arctic summer. Venturing above the 80th parallel and east around Nordaustlandet, you’ll sail through dramatic fjords, past sparkling glaciers and soaring mountains over several days in the archipelago. Discover Northwest Spitsbergen National Park, explore the ever-changing ice edge, and look out for Arctic wildlife including whales, reindeer and the elusive polar bear. Enjoy two days in Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen before setting sail, and go on an e-bike tour to discover the town’s fascinating heritage.
Wild nature, untamed scenery Going further east and deeper into polar bear territory than any of our other Svalbard expeditions, our goal is to fully circumnavigate the Svalbard archipelago – ice conditions permitting. Whether you opt to experience the ever-changing icescape of early summer, or see the kaleidoscope of colour later in the season, you’ll be immersed in incredible scenery and see iconic wildlife, with several days dedicated to exploring.
Land of infinite wonder Svalbard contains vast and pristine nature reserves where few humans ever set foot. It’s the domain of seabirds, such as Brunnich’s Guillemots and kittiwakes, as well as mammals like reindeer, walruses and seals. Early in the season we’ll explore close to the northern ice edge, while later on we’ll see the land bursting to life with wildflowers. As we sail, we’ll be on the lookout for marine animals in the waters around us, including graceful and mighty whales.
