West Spitsbergen Explorer on the M/S Quest

Focusing primarily on Spitsbergen's scenic west coast, as well as stunning fjords and outlying islands to the north, this comprehensive voyage covers less distance in order to maximise time on land. Regular shore excursions offer the chance to uncover the natural and human history of the island, keeping your eyes peeled for wildlife as you go! You may see polar bears, reindeer, walrus and belugas, as well as a huge variety of seabirds including skua, Arctic terns and snow buntings.
