Overview

With its rugged mountains, sweeping tundra, ice caps and glaciers, Spitsbergen is a true High Arctic archipelago less than 600 miles from the North Pole. Its abundant wildlife was once a huge draw for whalers and trappers but now discerning visitors are discovering the attractions of huge Arctic seabird colonies and the chance to enjoy and photograph species like walrus, reindeer, Arctic fox and of course, the elusive polar bear.

This is an Expedition Cruise. Learn about our Travel Styles.
