Norway and Spitsbergen Adventure Cruises Collection
Our adventure cruises take you along the coasts of Spitsbergen, the largest island in Svalbard, to 80 degrees North just 600 miles from the North Pole. Shore landings by polar cirkel or zodiac boats allow exploration of this diverse polar habitat, hopefully sighting polar bear, walrus and viewing the unique Arctic fauna and flora.
The 5-8 day cruise adventures start from Longyearbyen, a major polar research centre on Spitsbergen. Sail through the bays and channels of this magnificent outreach of Northern Europe whilst having the opportunity to spot wildlife including Arctic fox, reindeer and polar bears. Polar Encounters on MS Nordstjernen (5 days/4 night cruise), travels north to Moffen Island in search of whales and polar bears passing spectacular glaciers. The Explorer Voyage on MS Fram is a 7 night cruise through breathtaking scenery of Spitsbergen to the remote wilderness of Svalbard Archipelago.
The 7-night In the Realm of the Polar Bear travels the stunning Western coastline of Spitsbergen in search of the polar bear.
We also offer a 13-night cruise on MS Fram to Spitsbergen, Greenland and Iceland - National Park Expedition. Begin the cruise in Longyearbyen and discover Spitsbergen before visiting the North East Greenland National Park, one of the largest in the world and finally spend 2 nights in Iceland.
In July 2012 the special 7-night Climate Voyage adventure cruise sails from Iceland to Spitsbergen on MS Fram, with onboard specialists in climate change.
