Svalbard In Depth on the Greg Mortimer

• Discover the thrill of seeing walrus, seals, whales, reindeer, arctic fox, guillemots and puffins

• Cruise along blue glacier fronts and through stunning fjords
• Enjoy tundra hikes amid stunningly beautiful scenery

On this extended exploration of the Svalbard archipelago, there is ample time to enjoy the best of this magical region, a world of near-endless daylight, where polar bear sightings quicken your pulse, guillemot cries echo from towering cliffs, and beluga whales rise from the sea. Unpredictable conditions are expected in wild and remote places such as Svalbard, and with extra time, we can slow the pace of the voyage, linger longer in quiet bays to enjoy wildlife encounters and return to a place that was previously not possible. Explore tundra adorned with wildflowers, keep watch for arctic fox and discover historical camps of explorers and hunters. Push through pack ice to find walrus and bearded seals, and delight in the breathtakingly beautiful fjords.
