Svalbard Circumnavigation

Svalbard Circumnavigation

Svalbard is a remote archipelago in the Arctic that has untouched nature. This trip will tick off your bucket list. Zodiac boats will allow you to get close to wildlife, including whales and polar bears. Visit Edgeoya, Bellsund and other extraordinary places. It is an adventure you will never forget. You can experience all the wildlife and beauty of the Arctic.

Day by day

Day 1 : Longyearbyen

Arrival at Longyearbyen, the capital city of Svalbard and possibly the northernmost'real town on Earth'.

Ocean Albatros docks close to town. After boarding the ship and having a welcome drink, the Expedition Leader will provide information about the cruise. The Expedition Leader will also give an overview of the daily ship schedule and safety procedures. Before sailing, there will be a mandatory safety drill. Your Arctic Adventure starts when the captain leaves Advent Fjord.

Day 2 : NY Alesund, NY London, & Lilliehook Glacier

Svalbard's coast is a must-see for its wildlife, scenic beauty and rich history. This part of Svalbard, known as "Blubber Town", has long been an important center for whaling. The primary targets are oil-rich Bowhead Whales – the Arctic’s only resident baleen specie.

New Alesund is a "town" located in King's Bay, (Kongsfjorden), and well worth a visit. It is the world's northernmost civil settlement. The summer population is around 120 and the winter population of 35. It used to be the coal mining town of King's Bay, and it played a major role in Arctic exploration and exploitation.

Now, it is the center of Arctic research as well as one of the most northerly communities in the world. Post a postcard at the world's most northerly Post Office.
