Spitsbergen cruises

Of all the destinations in the Arctic, Spitsbergen is the most romantic, a combination perhaps of its evocative name and a reputation as a genuine wilderness. Our Spitsbergen cruises bring comfort to the exploration of an archipelago that is among the most interesting and exciting of all Arctic destinations. Our Arctic cruises and Spitsbergen cruises offer 24 hours of daylight and the near certainty of Polar Bears as well as Walruses and a variety of seabirds rarely found outside the High Arctic. We visit fjords where we will hike for several hours across a tundra dotted with an astonishing array of wild flowers. Arctic cruises in Spitsbergen also give opportunities to visit historical sites such as remains of the 17th century whaling industry. Be sure to spend time outside on deck and witness how at the end of the day, the low sun lights up the mountains and turns the sea a vivid orange-pink. It may be some time before you make it back to your cabin.
