Svalbard - Last stop before the North Pole on the Ocean Albatros

Explore the Arctic beauty of Svalbard on a cruise aboard the Ocean Albatros. Navigate along the west coast and toward the polar pack ice, where polar bears roam in summer. Spot whales, walruses, reindeer, and millions of seabirds nesting on cliffs. The Zodiacs allow us to have frequent shore landings and embark on exploratory mini cruises in the fjords and glacial landscapes - with no area off limits. Routes may change depending on ice and sea conditions, but every stop promises stunning glacial landscapes and Arctic wildlife. This adventure is a true Arctic experience, offering unforgettable moments in nature’s polar paradise.
