Itinerary

12 days (11 nights) Great nature and wildlife expedition around Spitsbergen, from/to Longyearbyen

Discover the breathtaking beauty of the Arctic on the 12-day circumnavigation of Spitsbergen with MS Vikingfjord or MS Freya, which can accommodate a maximum of 12 guests.

As the sea around Spitsbergen comes off the ice in the summer months, it is an ideal time to venture around the archipelago. The sea ice north of Spitsbergen stretches all the way to the North Pole, which is only 800 km away from here. This trip is designed for all those who want to explore the Arctic with a small group of like-minded people on a comfortable cruise.

During the daily shore excursions, which are led by experienced expedition leaders, you will visit historical sites and experience the nature of Spitsbergen with its multitude of Arctic wild animals at first hand. On land, but also from the ship, you can experience up close where walruses, reindeer, Arctic foxes, polar bears and other Arctic inhabitants live. The habitat of these animals is unique and will captivate you with its mighty glaciers and tranquil fjords.
