About the 8-day Spitsbergen Classic itinerary
Svalbard offers one of the most accessible yet remote Arctic experiences. Cruises typically depart from Longyearbyen, with some itineraries including charter flights from Oslo. Over 8 to 12 days, you'll explore dramatic fjords, towering glaciers, and expansive sea ice. This region is renowned for its rich wildlife, including polar bears, walruses, Arctic foxes, reindeer, and a variety of seabirds. Daily excursions by Zodiac and guided hikes provide intimate encounters with this pristine environment. The Midnight Sun during summer months offers extended daylight, enhancing wildlife viewing and photography opportunities.
Arrive in Longyearbyen, the northernmost town in the world. Enjoy time to explore the colorful town before boarding your expedition vessel in the afternoon. After embarkation, the ship sails out through Isfjorden and into the vast wilderness of the Svalbard archipelago.
Spend your days exploring the rugged coastline and remote fjords of Spitsbergen. Activities include Zodiac cruises along glaciers, shore landings for guided hikes, and wildlife spotting—keep your eyes open for polar bears, walruses, Arctic foxes, and reindeer. Depending on ice conditions, you may visit sites like the Lilliehöök Glacier, Kongsfjorden, or the historical whaling station at Smeerenburg.
Return to Longyearbyen for disembarkation. Transfer to the airport or spend extra time exploring the Arctic town before departure.
