SPITSBERGEN HIGHLIGHTS: EXPEDITION IN BRIEF 6 days

SPITSBERGEN PHOTOGRAPHY: IN SEARCH OF POLAR BEARS 13 days

For those short on time, this new voyage touches on all the high points, cruising along Spitsbergen’s west coast in just six days. Search for the iconic polar bear, enjoy daily hikes - vigorous or contemplative - or spend calm hours kayaking the clear waters. Zodiac excursions to shore deliver glimpses of foxes and reindeer. Walrus populations love Spitsbergen, too, feasting its food-rich waters.

The focus is on photographers with this new Spitsbergen voyage, where the wildlife influences your route - you go where it goes. The opportunities to snap polar bears, walrus and foxes in continuous daylight are more than plentiful. An early-season departure date during better ice conditions yields a higher probability of spotting the elusive polar bear.
