Expedition Svalbard with M/S Quest

Join us on an extraordinary Arctic adventure as we explore the realm of the polar bear, Svalbard!

Summer arrives at the end of June. The midnight sun reigns supreme and purple saxifrage decorates the slopes. As the ice around the islands thaws, it provides excellent opportunities to explore the archipelago's seldom-visited eastern parts. Whales are increasingly common in these waters, and more snow-free areas are opening up, allowing for longer walks. Autumn arrives in late August, when the snow-free landscape is most visible. The midnight sun is brushing the horizon, preparing for the polar night, giving us beautiful sunsets and a warm light, perfect for photography.

With ten nights on board the small and comfortable expedition vessel M/S Quest, we have ample time to experience the grandeur of nature.
