Our 11-day itinerary covers western Spitsbergen as well as the stunning fjords and outlying islands to the north. You’ll hike the tundra, zip through fjords on a Zodiac and experience vast expanses of icebergs. The archipelago is home to a diverse range of terrestrial and marine mammals. We'll look out for various wildlife species, including walruses, Svalbard reindeer and potentially polar bears. Nature is the tour guide: Sea, ice, and weather conditions will affect your flights and trip itinerary. Embrace the unexpected.
Departing from Aberdeen, Scotland, you can visit four remote Arctic islands in 15 days. Sail through the North Atlantic to Fair Isle, famous for its bird observatory, before exploring the Viking and Norse sites on the Faroe Islands. Then it’s onto the world’s northernmost volcanic island, Jan Mayen. The last two days of your voyage are spent exploring Spitsbergen, where we hope to spot polar bears. Nature is the tour guide: Sea, ice, and weather conditions will affect your flights and trip itinerary. Embrace the unexpected.
