SPITSBERGEN
This 14-day journey—during which we will attempt a full circumnavigation of the Svalbard archipelago—is our most extensive expedition in Spitsbergen. The itinerary includes opportunities to truly immerse yourself in the beauty of the archipelago with time to maximize unique off-ship adventures. We'll have our binoculars and scopes out to keep a watchful eye for wildlife, on shore as well as on the water. This incredible Arctic adventure also offers the rare chance to visit two birdwatching utopias, the 14th of July Glacier and famous Alkefjellet cliffs. This voyage truly is the big Arctic adventure you've been waiting for. Nature is the tour guide: Sea, ice, and weather conditions will affect your flights and trip itinerary. Embrace the unexpected!
