About this expedition

Cruise the Spitsbergen archipelago in search of the wildlife, stunning landscapes, and the whaling history of the region. At Smeerenburg you'll visit a 17th century whaling station, followed by sailing to Sorgfjord which provides a chance for spotting walruses and yet more history. You'll go ashore at Kapp Lee and may walk in Rosenbergdalen to search for reindeer. Another jaunt will take you to Homsund with its view of the glaciers and its opportunities to lock eyes on the Kings and Queens of the Arctic, the Polar Bear.
