Svalbard Expedition Cruises

A Svalbard expedition cruise is an unforgettable Arctic adventure, offering breathtaking scenery, unique wildlife, and pristine landscapes. Located between Norway and the North Pole, Svalbard is home to glaciers, towering fjords, and vast tundra, providing a remote and untouched wilderness for exploration.

Expedition cruises navigate icy waters, often using small zodiac boats to access secluded areas. 

Many itineraries start from Longyearbyen, Svalbard’s main settlement, and include guided hikes, kayaking, and educational lectures on Arctic ecology. These sailings focus on sustainability, using eco-friendly ships to minimise environmental impact. Whether observing massive glaciers or spotting a polar bear in the wild, a Svalbard expedition cruise is an unparalleled Arctic experience.
