Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the price?
The price includes accommodation in your chosen cabin category, all meals and beverages, expedition landings and activities, expert naturalist guides, educational lectures, use of rubber boots and waterproof jackets, and a post-voyage photo journal.
How do I get to the departure port?
You will need to arrange your own flights to Longyearbyen. We recommend arriving at least one day before departure to account for any travel delays. The nearest airport is Longyearbyen.
What is the cancellation policy?
This expedition has a tiered cancellation policy. Cancellations more than 120 days before departure typically receive a full refund minus a deposit. Fees increase closer to departure. We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that covers trip cancellation.
Do I need travel insurance?
Yes, comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory for all expedition cruises. Your policy must include emergency evacuation coverage (minimum $200,000), trip cancellation, medical expenses, and baggage coverage. The remote nature of polar destinations makes this essential.
