Expedition overview & highlights

  • Search for polar bears in their natural Arctic habitat on the ice-fringed shores of Svalbard
  • Cruise through dramatic fjords and glacial landscapes
  • Experience the midnight sun
  • Brave the Arctic waters and take the polar plunge

From close-up encounters with icebergs and glaciers to the region’s plentiful wildlife, this is a voyage of non-stop highlights. Always on the lookout for wildlife that live in this polar wilderness, you’ll explore this landscape not only by ship but also on foot and via Zodiac. Roaming polar bears, lounging seals, grazing reindeer, and colonies of birds all co-exist in this harsh land we dare only to explore a few months of the year.

Map & Cruise Itinerary

Transfer from Longyearbyen to the Expedition for a late afternoon embarkation.

This voyage is spent travelling in the world in which the polar bear survives. Our wildlife viewing opportunities are enhanced by exploring as many remote areas as possible. Spotting wildlife like the Arctic fox, Svalbard reindeer, and land or sea birds can be difficult, but well worth the effort. Ice and weather conditions permitting we can explore near sea ice, through fjords that lead to glaciers and icebergs, and discover bird nesting colonies, all from the platform of the ship. Alternatively, hop in a Zodiac to explore more closely, or be brought to land to visit historical sites and experience the tundra. We are always on the lookout for wildlife, ranging from endangered and rare polar species to sea mammals and birds. And, of course, we'll have our eyes peeled for polar bears - they can be found all throughout this region, but finding them can require patience and persistence. Come join us in the search!

On the departure day, there will be transfers available to the Longyearbyen airport for all passengers with flights scheduled.

New Ship, Same Spirit

Extensively refurbished with new engines, upgraded common areas, and refreshed cabins with ensuite bathrooms, this adventure-ready vessel was designed to keep things cosy, capable and close to the action.

Gadventures Antarctica Cierva Cove 4644

Small Ship, Big Adventure

With space for just 128 passengers, the Expedition offers an intimate and immersive experience that larger ships can’t match. The small-group size allows guests to disembark and explore twice a day (weather permitting), maximising time ashore for wildlife encounters, photography and unforgettable moments amid the ice and wilderness. That means more time on land, more wildlife sightings, and way more moments you’ll never forget.
