About This Expedition

Sailing along the pack-ice of North Spitsbergen, will give us the best opportunities to spot the King of the Arctic. We sail to Raudfjord on the north coast of West Spitsbergen, a beautiful fjord dominated by spectacular glaciers and favoured by Ringed and Bearded Seal. The cliffs and shoreline of the fjord also support thriving seabird colonies and a surprisingly rich vegetation, which flourishes in sheltered spots. Polar bear are often seen here.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
