Which Voyage?
There are a number of incredible voyages available throughout the Arctic. By working with a number of different voyage operators we are able to offer a wider choice of itineraries, to suit all requirements – whether it’s your first time to the polar regions, you have a specific interest in wildlife or polar history, if time is limited or if you’re looking for a more in-depth exploration, we can help:
VOYAGES TO SPITSBERGEN & GREENLAND
Easily accessible via Oslo, from just 8 to 21 days duration and with an abundance of wildlife, these are the ideal options for a first-time visit to the Arctic.
Around Spitsbergen
Our biggest-selling Arctic voyage explores the stunning scenery, history and wildlife of the largest island in the Svalbard archipelago. In early summer the focus is on North Spitsbergen, while later in the season as the ice breaks up, a full circumnavigation is possible offering the best opportunities for spotting polar bear and walrus.
