Svalbard Quest

Day 1: Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen

Transfer from Longyearbyen to the ship for a late afternoon embarkation: begin your adventure today! There are no planned activities so feel free to explore or rest up for the excitement ahead. Embark on the ship in the afternoon, join your fellow passengers to take your group transfer and begin your journey.

Days 2-7: Spitsbergen

This voyage is spent travelling in the world in which the polar bear survives. Our wildlife viewing opportunities are enhanced by exploring as many remote areas as possible. Spotting wildlife like the Arctic fox, Svalbard reindeer, and land or sea birds can be difficult, but well worth the effort. Ice and weather conditions permitting we can explore near sea ice, through fjords that lead to glaciers and icebergs, and discover bird nesting colonies, all from the platform of the ship. Alternatively, hop in a Zodiac to explore more closely, or be brought to land to visit historical sites and experience the tundra. We are always on the lookout for wildlife, ranging from endangered and rare polar species to sea mammals and birds. And, of course, we'll have our eyes peeled for polar bears - they can be found all throughout this region, but finding them can require patience and persistence. Come join us in the search!

Day 8: Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen

On the departure day, there will be transfers available to the Longyearbyen airport for all passengers with flights scheduled. 

NOTE: This itinerary is for guidance only as each voyage will vary depending on ice and weather conditions, and opportunities to see wildlife. Flexibility is key and all part of the adventure of an expeditionary cruise.
