Around Spitsbergen - ARC02
Introduction: Circumnavigating the island of Spitsbergen and other islands in the Svalbard Archipelago, this 11 day expedition cruise onboard an ice-strengthened vessel encapsulates the essence of the Arctic. Its wildlife, landscape and climate are unique to our planet and this tour focuses on two different approaches to learning and experiencing this remote, yet now accessible, environment. Firstly, you will spend as much time ashore as possible using Zodiac landing craft led by well experienced tour guides. This provides the senses with a real experience of the Arctic. Secondly, scientists on board the vessel will conduct educational lectures and presentations covering all manner of topics relating to the Arctic. The tour operates in an expedition style whilst maintaining a high level of comfort and service onboard. Departing from and ending in Longyearbyen in Norway, the ‘Around Spitsbergen’ tour is for the adventurers amongst us who have a passion for the natural world and who want to experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
