Svalbard Private Expedition -Departure 15 June 2027

Upon arrival in Longyearbyen, the world’s northernmost town, you will be met and transferred to your hotel. Set against a dramatic backdrop of Arctic mountains and glaciers, Longyearbyen offers a fascinating introduction to life in the High Arctic. Depending on your arrival time, you may explore the town at your leisure, visit the Svalbard Museum, or simply soak in the unique atmosphere of this remote frontier community. In the evening you will meet up with the rest of your explorers to have dinner in one of the town’s restaurants and prepare for the expedition ahead. An overnight stay in Longyearbyen allows you to rest and acclimatize before embarking on your Arctic adventure.

This morning is yours to enjoy at leisure in Longyearbyen before meeting your fellow travellers and expedition team for lunch. In the early afternoon, we board our expedition ship and set sail through the majestic Isfjorden, marking the true beginning of our Arctic adventure.

From this point onward, we enter a remote and ever-changing wilderness where nature sets the agenda. Ice conditions, weather, and wildlife sightings will guide our route, allowing for a flexible and authentic expedition experience. Each day brings new possibilities as we navigate along dramatic coastlines, past towering glaciers, and into ice-filled fjords.

Our goal is to make the most of every opportunity: daily Zodiac cruises to explore the shoreline and ice edge up close, and whenever conditions allow, landings to experience Svalbard’s raw landscapes on foot. Along the way, we remain alert for Arctic wildlife, including polar bears, seals, walruses, Arctic foxes, reindeer, and an abundance of seabirds. Your experienced guides will share their knowledge through briefings, lectures, and on-deck interpretation, enriching your understanding of this extraordinary region.

Life on board follows the rhythm of the Arctic—days shaped by light, ice, and discovery—creating an immersive expedition that balances adventure, wildlife encounters, and quiet moments in one of the world’s most pristine environments.

Examples of Places We May Visit: Prins Karls Forland ,Virgohamna, Liefdefjorden, Monaco Glacier, Krossfjorden, Raudfjorden, Kongsfjorden, North of Spitsbergen, Southwest Spitsbergen.

In the early morning, we disembark from our expedition ship upon returning to Longyearbyen. After saying farewell to the crew and expedition team, you will transfer to the airport to begin your journey home. As your Arctic adventure comes to an end, take a final moment to reflect on the remarkable landscapes, wildlife encounters, and unforgettable experiences of Svalbard’s High Arctic wilderness.

Please note: All itineraries are for guidance only. Our exact route will depend on the ice, weather conditions, wildlife and government regulations. The places mentioned are just examples of some of the many sites Svalbard has to offer. We always strive to maximise your experience. Please remember that flexibility is the key to a successful expedition
