Voyage highlights

Svalbard Odyssey

Svalbard is one of those places that resets your sense of time. The sun barely sets, so the days seem to stretch on forever, and there's always one more thing to see. This is where a polar bear sighting sends your pulse racing, where the cries of guillemots echo off towering cliffs, and where beluga whales surface right beside you. On shore, you'll wander tundra dotted with wildflowers, keep an eye out for arctic fox, and come across the old camps left behind by explorers and hunters. Out on the water, you'll push through pack ice in search of walrus and bearded seals, then drift through fjords so beautiful they're hard to take in.
