The untamed landscapes of the Arctic were carved out over millennia by immense icecaps and glaciers, leaving jagged coastlines, plunging fjords and enormous wind-eroded icebergs.


Voyages take place during the Arctic summer, from May until September, when for up to 24 hours a day the sun’s rays thaw the land for an all too brief moment of abundance: rare flowering plants, mosses and lichens spring into life and an array of wildlife makes the most of the season for breeding and preparing to survive the coming winter. Hungry Polar bears can be seen roaming the shoreline, walruses and seals take to the water, Arctic foxes raid nests for eggs and vast flocks of seabirds feed on an ocean teeming with fish.


During Zodiac cruises and shore landings, we hope to explore sites such as Diskobukta, with its vast Kittiwake colony, or the inhabited research town of Ny Allesund, with the World’s most northerly railway. There will be plenty of time to enjoy the sheer beauty of inlets such as Magdalena Fjord, with its alpine feel and steep glaciers sliding into the sea. Wherever your journey takes you, you will undoubtedly be left feeling fulfilled.
