Trip Info

North Spitsbergen by Small Ship
8 days - Jun - From US $ 2,760

Explore the grandeur, splendor and history of the best the Arctic has to offer. This 8-day adventure starts in Longyearbyen, where you will board a Russian research vessel, and where the beautiful plants that can be found in the surrounding area are just a taste of the breathtaking beauty that awaits you. The stunning vastness of the 14th of July Glacier will amaze as you travel aboard a zodiac in and out of its natural fjords in order to see up close the unique life in this part of the world. From polar bears to reindeer, arctic foxes to pink-footed geese, you will witness the beauty of life at each stop along the way. 

The ruggedness of the mountains rising in the distance sits in sharp contrast to the smooth white of the glaciers, and frames perfectly the bountiful colors of vegetation that dot the tundra. You can even step back in time as you visit a centuries old whaling station, discovering how those that came before us survived. This adventure takes you to the true High Arctic, where beauty, history, and unique wildlife are just waiting to be discovered.
