7 Aug '27Cruise overview
Beyond the Arctic Circle, set off to explore the islands of the Far North, from Spitsbergen to Iceland, via the east coast of Greenland. In this polar kingdom with its spectacular geology, you will discover majestic fjords – including Scoresby Sound, the world’s largest network of fjords -, vertiginous snow-capped peaks, gigantic icebergs, ancient glaciers and infinite tundra sheltering remarkable wild fauna that you will certainly be lucky enough to observe. During your journey, you will also dive into the passionate history of these lands lying at the end of the world and set off to encounter local communities, the guardians of these untamed spaces.
Itinerary
Longyearbyen
Longyearbyen is the biggest settlement in Svalbard. Seat of the Norwegian administration, it also has the best services and infrastructure in the archipelago. Located deep in the Adventfjord, a sidearm of the Isfjorden (Icefjord), Longyearbyen’s airport can be used all-year round, but its harbor is blocked by ice in winter. Most shops, hotels, restaurants and a hospital are within easy walking distance of the port. One of the most prominent buildings in town is the UNIS center, where several Norwegian universities have joined forces to operate and offer the northernmost higher education to both Norwegian and international students. Adjacent to UNIS, and well worth a visit, is the Svalbard Museum, covering the natural history and exploitation of Svalbard. Remnants of the former mining activity can be seen all around Longyearbyen and even in town.
