Svalbard Tours & Trips
Imagine mushing through Arctic snowscapes with huskies, exploring wilderness on snowmobiles, descending into ice caves beneath glaciers, and savoring reindeer stew at Camp Barentz. Cruise northeastern Svalbard, land near the North Pole, navigate Arctic ice, and spot polar bears. There’s nothing quite like this.

Can not praise or recommend the trip enough! I was blown away by the quality of accommodation, food, and service. All the staff were friendly and willing to help with whatever they could; a special mention must be made to the catering/bar staff - the best service I've ever received. The excursions were interesting and well thought out, and were as inclusive to every energy/mobility-level as possible. All the instructions in briefings and recaps were presented clearly and were in great humour. The atmosphere on board was fantastically friendly and warm, and everyone (both staff and passengers) were very happy to share any facts or information they could. The range of knowledge and specialties of the staff was exceptional. Cat was a fantastic CEO bringing energy and enthusiasm in every interaction, especially motivating the ship when spirits were low/failing. The Captain (Juraj Zekan) was so lovely and happy to chat with or help any of the passengers; he was very approachable and often seen in the bar on an evening with other staff members. It was lovely to feel so integrated with the crew. All in all, I can't wait to be back in the Arctic and on board the Expedition. This is a trip I will never forget.

Best time to visit Svalbard
- Summer 2026
Summer brings non-stop daylight and peak wildlife activity. Our ships use all 24 hours of sunlight to maximize wildlife viewing - you might find polar bears near the pack ice or watch thousands of guillemots clustered on cliffs. Some voyages head east to Greenland and Iceland, while others dig deep into Svalbard's fjords and islands. Summer routes often stop at Ny Ålesund's abandoned mines and the old Dutch whaling station at Smeerenburg. You'll see hardy Arctic flowers dotting the tundra, and Zodiac trips regularly come across bearded seals and beluga whales in the icy waters.
