This fascinating expedition provides a taste of everything Spitsbergen—the largest island in the Svalbard archipelago—has to offer. It’s also known as the “Wildlife Capital of the Arctic,” and we’ll show you why on this 10-day itinerary, which offers multiple departures—except for one extended 12-day voyage. Spotting Arctic wildlife will be a key focus of this expedition. Just imagine photographing walrus, reindeer, and that most iconic of Arctic denizens—the polar bear—all while marveling at the surreal spectacle of continuous daylight. On this exciting introductory journey, you’ll explore the unique Arctic landscape, hike the vast and colorful tundra, and learn about the history and geology of this remote Norwegian Arctic island. Our polar-obsessed guides will be on hand to answer all your questions about local wildlife. You have two ship options for this voyage: Ultramarine, our technologically advanced polar vessel that can access remote places most larger ships can’t reach; and our newest ship, the state-of-the-art Ocean Explorer.

We saw the lights several times. Our tour guide Robby knew where to go to see them so we were always successful. The itinerary looks us to very interesting places to learn about the people and history of the island. I highly recommend it.

Witness the raw beauty of Iceland in full on this immersive adventure, which starts with world-renowned natural wonders, before heading away from the crowds. First up is the understandably popular Golden Circle, before we circumnavigate the island to visit landscapes well away from the typical tourist track. Stark coastlines, immense glaciers and the Eastern Fjords await, as do the dramatic landscapes of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula – a highlight for many, but far too often missed.
Picking your dates: Choose between the frozen landscapes of winter, with the chance to witness the Northern Lights, and the endless days of summer with 24-hour daylight.

It was a very good program to get to know Iceland and see a lot without having to drive around the island in a rush. I don't have the feeling that I missed out on seeing anything.
