Svalbard Odyssey, 27 July 2028
10 nights
Douglas Mawson
27 Jul '28Cruise overview
Thank you for joining Aurora Expeditions on our Svalbard Odyssey expedition.
Experience the breadth of Svalbard beneath the midnight sun. By summer, retreating sea ice may open a wider network of fjords and coasts, while tundra valleys brighten with wildflowers and provide excellent walking. With eight full expedition days, Svalbard Odyssey gives the Expedition Team time to range beyond Spitsbergen when conditions permit, pursuing remote islands, immense glacier fronts and wildlife-rich waters. Watch for walrus, seals, whales, reindeer, Arctic foxes, seabirds and polar bears as each day unfolds.
Itinerary
Oslo
Having made your way to Oslo, walk the short distance to our group hotel. Upon arrival at your included hotel, please visit the Aurora Expeditions hospitality desk to collect your luggage cabin tags and to speak with our ground operations team, who may have information to share with you about pre-embarkation or to provide you with information about where to dine, withdraw cash or purchase last minute items from a local pharmacy or supermarket.
The remainder of your time is at leisure. All meals today are at your own expense.
Accommodation: Oslo airport Hotel (to be advised)
Oslo is the capital of Norway and is also its largest city, situated at the head of Oslo Fjord and surrounded by hills and forests. Home to some 50 museums and full of galleries, cafés, a sculpture park and the Royal Palace, this vibrant city with its handsome 19th-century buildings and wide streets has much to offer. Its history dates back 1,000 years, and includes a rich seafaring heritage that ranges from the Viking era to Thor Heyerdahl’s Kon Tiki expedition. Discover more about this exciting city on our varied selection of excursions.
