Reino do urso polar em profundidade

Your Arctic expedition begins in Longyearbyen, the gateway to the High Arctic and capital of Svalbard. From here, your voyage sails into the remote wilderness surrounding Spitsbergen and the greater Svalbard archipelago.

Cruise through dramatic Arctic fjords, glacier-lined coastlines, and the shifting pack ice of the Arctic Ocean. Expedition routes may explore areas around Spitsbergen, venture toward Nordaustlandet, approach the remote island of Kvitøya, or navigate along the ice edge where wildlife congregates.

Key highlights include towering glacier fronts, seabird cliffs, walrus haul-outs, and prime polar bear habitat within the Arctic pack ice. Every route is shaped by weather and sea ice conditions, ensuring the best possible exploration and wildlife viewing opportunities.

A viagem termina de volta em Longyearbyen, completando uma expedição circular por uma das regiões polares mais extraordinárias do mundo.

Dia 1: Longyearbyen

Get a first glimpse of the midnight sun in Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen's capital. Transfer from the town to the Expedition for a late afternoon embarkation.

Please make sure you drop your checked luggage off at the meeting point between 9am - 12pm. A local representative will be in the luggage storage room. They can provide general information about the town or the embarkation process.

All passengers will be transferred to the ship as a group for embarkation at 4pm. Please ensure that for embarkation you have your passport accessible (not in your luggage which is being transferred separately to the ship).

Garanta que o seu voo chegue no máximo às 14h, para estar a tempo do embarque de hoje às 16h.

Dias 2 a 10: Svalbard

Each day is planned to take advantage of local ice and weather conditions. Svalbard is one of the few places on the planet to offer such a plethora of natural and historical extravaganzas. Spend the next nine days exploring the remote polar regions. Visit ice-sculpted fjords with breathtaking mountain scenery, and glaciers crashing into the sea. Spend time exploring pack ice edges in search of polar bears hunting seals. At one or more of the stops, it's possible to encounter Svalbard's Arctic fox and the region's unique reindeer.

Our goal is to give travellers the best possible opportunity to see wildlife in and around the Svalbard archipelago. Early season voyages often provide the greatest opportunity to see large ice floes in the Arctic pack ice, which usually means excellent wildlife viewing. Later in the season, the group will cover more territory, which may allow the chance to explore the entire archipelago. This can lead into the less explored regions of Nordaustlandet and Kvitøya, or the continental edges where large whales are attracted by nutrient rich upwellings.
