Svalbard Circumnavigation Micro Cruise

Embark on an extraordinary 12-day voyage through the Svalbard archipelago, an Arctic frontier where ice, wildlife, and human history intertwine in spellbinding harmony. Setting sail from Longyearbyen, your adventure unfolds amid the rugged beauty of Spitsbergen’s fjords, snow-dusted peaks, and vast tundra plains — landscapes shaped by ancient glaciers and steeped in stories of survival and exploration.

This journey offers an unparalleled chance to witness the Arctic at its height of vitality. Sailing in the summer months, when 24-hour daylight bathes the region in a golden glow, you’ll experience the high north alive with life — walruses lounging on ice floes, reindeer grazing the tundra, and seabirds crowding the cliffs of Alkefjellet in their thousands. As you navigate the edge of the pack ice, you’ll search for whales in the nutrient-rich upwellings and perhaps glimpse the mighty polar bear, undisputed ruler of the Arctic realm.

Guided by an expert expedition team, each day brings a new chapter of discovery. Explore by Zodiac beneath towering glaciers like Bråsvellbreen, walk among the relics of 17th-century whaling stations, and visit Ny-Ålesund — the world’s northernmost research settlement, where scientists continue to probe the mysteries of climate and ice. At places like Virgohamna, stand where early explorers launched daring (and often ill-fated) attempts to reach the North Pole by balloon, and feel the same stirring sense of ambition and awe that drove them north.

To journey here is to push the boundaries of travel itself — venturing to one of the planet’s most remote and rarely visited regions. You’ll come away with not only unforgettable wildlife encounters and breathtaking photographs but also the quiet triumph of having stood on the very edge of the known world.

Perfect for adventurers, photographers, and dreamers alike, this voyage offers a rare chance to experience the Arctic in its purest form — raw, remote, and endlessly inspiring.
