From Oslo to the town at the top of the world. After a flight from Oslo, your adventure begins with an overnight stay in the world's northernmost town, Longyearbyen.

Day

Cruise Begins

Longyearbyen, Norway

Explore colorful Longyearbyen. After breakfast, it's time to experience Longyearbyen. The town is perfect for exploring on foot. Stroll down the main street and you might see Svalbard reindeer saunter by. Although wild, they're curious and tame. Before boarding your ship in the afternoon and continuing your Arctic discovery, join an included excursion and get a glimpse of this amazing polar bear-inspired region at the top of the world. And if you'd like to discover even more of Longyearbyen's special surroundings, why not join an optional Pre-Program. ...

Day
3

Ny Alesund, Norway

Experience science, serenity, and epic scenery. Today, you'll discover the serenity of Ny-Alesund and neighboring fjords such as Krossfjord and Kongsfjord. Disconnect and enjoy a day without distractions as the Norwegian Mapping Authority's nearby geodetic station means we must switch off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. One of the northernmost settlements and a former mining town, Ny-Alesund was the starting point for Roald Amundsen's expeditions north with the airship 'Norge'. Now a hub for global science and climate research, you can still see remnants of the town's history. You'll be immersed in rugged, glacial scenery as we explore the fjords around Ny-Alesund. Be ready for adventure; we'll seize any opportunity to launch our small expedition boats, go ashore to hike, or cruise by majestic glaciers. ...

Spitsbergen National Park, Norway

Experience pristine Arctic wilderness. Over the next three days, you'll explore the natural beauty and rugged tundra of Northwest Spitsbergen National Park. Surrounded by steep mountains, stark glaciers, and beautiful offshore islands, we'll scan for Arctic animals, including whales, seals, walruses, and reindeer. If we're really lucky, we might even see the elusive polar bear from the ship's Observation Deck. In stunning Kongsfjord, you may see impressive glaciers calving into the sea. Be ready for adventure. We'll seize any opportunity to launch our kayaks or set out in our small boats (RIB) to go ashore and hike or participate in a beach cleanup. ...

Day

At Sea

Experience the opportunity of sailing to the edge of the polar ice cap. If conditions allow, we'll sail north and cross the 80th parallel to explore the ever-changing ice edge. The transition zone between the ice cap and the sea is a magical yet ephemeral place where the waters are filled with ice floes and drifting pack ice. From the ship there are great opportunities here for spotting wildlife, such as seals and walruses who lounge photogenically on the sparkling ice. And if the conditions are right, we'll lower our expedition boats into the water and enjoy an unforgettable close-up experience amid the floating ice. The ice edge isn't a fixed boundary, and it moves depending on the season and conditions, so visiting it will be an attempt rather than a certainty. From May to August, as summer progresses, it retreats further towards the pole, meaning it may be out of reach for us. If this is the case then we'll instead explore the no-less-impressive deep fjords, mighty glaciers, and enchanting scenery of the Svalbard coast. In late July and into August, this is a time when the wildflowers appear, blanketing the landscape with a blaze of beauty and color. ...

Hinlopen Strait, Norway

Saturday - Aug 8, 2026

Day
8

Soraust-Svalbard Nature Reserve, Norway

Scouting for polar bears, seabirds, and walruses. Be ready for anything as this stage of your voyage continues to be truly adventurous. If sea ice permits, we'll venture to the frozen seascape of Eastern Spitsbergen. We have high hopes you'll see the elusive polar bear over the next two days. We'll also scout for walrus and colonies of Brunnich's guillemots and other seabirds in the Hinlopen Strait. We may head south to Freemansundet and Kapp Lee or take our small expedition boats to Edgeoya or Barentsoya. In true expedition style, exactly where we'll go will depend on the conditions on the day. Channel your inner explorer on exhilarating landings, hikes, and kayak trips. And if the ice doesn't allow us to pass through Hinlopen Strait, you'll experience just as much adventure as we delve deeper into the wonders of western Svalbard. We'll take a flexible route through deep fjords and by calving glaciers, seeking out remarkable Arctic wildlife. ...

Hornsund, Norway

Monday - Aug 10, 2026

Day
10

Bellsund, Norway

Majestic glaciers, birds, and pioneer history. Your expedition cruise continues south towards Hornsund - one of Svalbard's most beautiful fjords. Rich, colorful vegetation makes way for towering mountains along this picturesque waterway. Head out on deck to spot seals and whales, Mount Hornsundtind, and glaciers calving into the sea. Then we head to snowcapped mountains of Bellsund, whose cliffs are home to large colonies of auks, guillemots, and northern fulmars, along with Arctic foxes and Svalbard reindeer below. Look out for the early mining settlements here and learn about Wanny Woldstad, the first female trapper. Our activities will be determined by the ever-changing weather conditions of Hornsund and Bellsund. Your Expedition Team will decide on the best possibilities for exploring on the day. ...

Longyearbyen, Norway

A final day on top of the world. Your Arctic adventure comes to an end back in Longyearbyen. A transfer will take you to the airport for your flight home. You'll return home knowing more about Arctic animals, history, polar ice, and climate change than when you arrived. You'll also have lifelong memories of this incredible experience. If you're not ready to say goodbye just yet, why not spend some more time in the Arctic and join an optional Post-Program. ...
