Springtime in Svalbard with M/S Quest

Join us for an unforgettable Arctic cruise through the land of the polar bear and the midnight sun - Svalbard! During the month of May, Svalbard is characterised by a wonderful purity and spectacular scenery. The fairytale winter landscape is dominated by glittering ice formations, snow-capped mountains, fjord ice and pastel-coloured skies.

It's spring in Svalbard, and it's an awe-inspiring experience to be there when the archipelago comes to life: the Arctic fox and the Svalbard reindeer still wear their winter coats, walruses are often seen resting on the ice floes, and if we're lucky, we might see the polar bear walking on the ice. Birdlife is beginning to return to Svalbard, and it's a good time to see king eiders and rock ptarmigans.
