Your Itinerary

Longyearbyen, Norway

Longyearbyen (Svalbard), Norway Sat 23 May 2026

Longyearbyen, Norway

Upon arrival from Oslo, transfer to a hotel for your overnight stay. Including Dinner & Breakfast

A panoramic view of Longyearbyen

Longyearbyen (Svalbard), Norway Sun 24 May 2026

A panoramic view of 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.

Later, transfer to the port and embark your expedition ship for your 7 night all-inclusive expedition voyage

Hornsund Fjord, Spitsbergen Island

Hornsund Fjord - Bellsund (Svalbard), Norway Mon 25 May 2026

Hornsund Fjord, Spitsbergen Island

Your expedition cruise continues south towards Hornsund – one of Svalbard’s most beautiful fjords. Rich, colourful 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 the ship will head to snow-capped 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.

Exploring Spitsbergen

Northwest Spitsbergen National Park Wed 27 May 2026

Exploring Spitsbergen

The ship will head to Northwest Spitsbergen National Park, cruise into Magdelenefjorden and through Sørgattet, the southern entrance to Smeerenburgfjord. The light of the Midnight Sun allows plenty of time to explore this breathtakingly scenic area.

Over the next two days, explore the natural beauty and rugged tundra of this breathtaking national park. In the wilderness of steep mountains, stark glaciers and beautiful offshore islands, scan for some of the animals of the Arctic – seals, walruses and reindeer. Early in the season, there’s a good chance you will spot polar bears too, so be on the lookout for these iconic but elusive predators.

Polar Ice Cap

Ice edge attempt Fri 29 May 2026

Polar Ice Cap

If conditions allow, 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.

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. 

Alesund Cruises

Ny-Ålesund (Svalbard), Norway Sat 30 May 2026

Alesund Cruises

Today you’ll discover the serenity of Ny-Ålesund and neighbouring 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-Ålesund 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.
