Itinerary

Longyearbyen
You'll arrive in Longyearbyen and need to drop off checked luggage at the meeting point between 9am and 12pm. Your flight should touch down by 2pm at the latest, and keep your passport with you in your carry-on since you can't pack it away. The group transfer to the Expedition ship happens at 4pm, so you'll have some time to settle in before boarding begins.

Svalbard - Greenland Sea
Four days of exploring Northwest Spitsbergen National Park from the ship mean you'll be on the lookout for polar bears, Arctic foxes, and Svalbard's distinctive reindeer. Zodiac excursions take you along the western coast where you can make the most of the long daylight hours. The expedition leaders adjust each day based on ice conditions and weather, so your exact route shifts to give you the best wildlife viewing opportunities.
