Svalbard offers you a fantastic introduction to the Arctic. A deserted archipelago full of otherworldly landscapes, polar bears, walrus, whales, and ice. Beyond the vast glaciers, towering mountains, and rare wildlife, what makes Svalbard unique is how barren it is. Sailing 80° North, depending on ice conditions, you may find yourself anywhere from 600 to 400 miles from the North Pole. Here, you’ll learn about polar history and experience this extraordinary region on foot, by Zodiac® and in utmost luxury on board.
