Located halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole, the Svalbard Archipelago is the main focus of our Arctic wildlife cruises. These small-ship expedition voyages run from May to September and explore remote fjords, icy coastlines, and rugged tundra. One of the standout itineraries includes the circumnavigation of Spitsbergen, Svalbard’s largest island, which offers excellent chances to see polar bears, walrus, Arctic foxes, reindeer, and a variety of seabirds. Zodiac landings allow for guided walks ashore and close-up wildlife viewing, all accompanied by expert naturalist guides.
