Journey to the icy edge on our northern-most expedition
Svalbard translates to the ‘cold edge’ in old Norse and is the perfect place to experience polar bears, pack ice and Arctic history among jagged peaks and glaciated terrain. Whether you are a sea kayaker or cruiser, the Svalbard archipelago is a must-visit destination.
All guests on our Svalbard Expedition Cruise can expect to enjoy at least two outings per day cruising in zodiacs, exploring a series of wonderful landing sites in a small group and soaking up the surroundings ashore. We have an exceptional team of passionate polar experts to help you enjoy and understand the region’s wildlife, geology, flora and history onboard and while out adventuring. For those looking to add to their adventure, we have a range of optional activity packages outlined below.
