Navigate past towering, snowcapped peaks and through massive scenic fjords, their grandeur mirrored by the artfully sculpted glaciers that have shaped this frozen land over millennia.

As you glide across the icy waters, witness the Arctic tundra through the lounge’s floor to ceiling windows, where colorful mosses and lichens paint the landscape, providing a feast for the majestic Svalbard reindeer. Keep a keen eye out for seals and walruses lounging lazily on ice floes, their relaxed forms a testament to the pristine, unspoiled beauty of this remote Arctic paradise. If we’re lucky, we’ll spot a whale or two as we sail up the coast.

We’ll be constantly scouting for Arctic wildlife and when we encounter some – be it a polar fox, a haul-out of walruses, or a pod of beluga whales – we’ll get into the inflatable Zodiacs for a closer look, all without disturbing them in their natural habitat.
