Svalbard / Spitsbergen

Remote, mysterious, extreme and located on the southern fringe of the frozen Arctic Ocean, Spitsbergen is a land forged by ice, wind and sea. Spend time exploring the natural wilderness searching for polar bears hunting seals. Our expedition style landings take you close to the wildlife, the ghost towns of early whaling stations, remote mining towns and spectacular fjords and icebergs.

The Patel family about Svalbard: The feeling of crossing the line of 80° North and arriving at Mofen island whilst experiencing midnight Sun was the one out of this world.

SVALBARD - LAST STOP BEFORE THE NORTH POLE
NORTH POLE Expedition

Enjoy the immense beauty of Svalbard on this Arctic adventure cruise among whales, walruses, polar bears and millions of sea birds. Experience high summer in the Arctic with Ocean Atlantic - one of the few ice-class expedition ships built to withstand the North Pole's pack ice. The goal of this Albatros expedition is to sail as close as possible to the pack ice from the North Pole north of Svalbard, the polar bear's favorite summer residence. How far north we reach and the exact route up there will depend on the ice conditions. However, the many amazing locations along the west coast of Svalbard are for sure kept navigable by the warm Gulf Stream. Depending on how far north we reach, we can add some extraordinary locations south of Longyearbyen like Bellsund to the program.
