FAQs
This is an ultra-luxury one-way crossing from Tromso on the Norwegian mainland, calling at North Cape and remote Bear Island before entering Svalbard’s southern and northern regions, finishing in Longyearbyen. With no days at sea, the whole voyage is given to exploration, reaching Svalbard by sea rather than by air.
It follows the same broad route as the Classic and True voyages, via North Cape and Bear Island, but in ultra-luxury: an all-suite ship with a butler for every suite, near to one crew member per guest, all-inclusive champagne and fine wines, a choice of restaurants and a spa, with up to twenty-one shore excursions and no days at sea. It pairs serious expedition capability with the comfort of a luxury yacht.
Svalbard’s full cast: polar bears along the shoreline, walrus, cliffs filled with seabirds, and whales in the fjords, against calving glaciers and drifting ice, with North Cape and Bear Island adding spectacular seabird life. Wildlife is never guaranteed in the wild, but an excursion-rich crossing gives outstanding chances.
The fare is cruise-inclusive, and an optional flight package can add international flights, transfers and hotels for a seamless door-to-ship arrangement. Without it, you arrange your own flights into Tromso and home from Longyearbyen, and your Expedition Expert can advise.
