Voyage Overview

Voyage Highlights

Zodiac Cruising & Shore Program

By Zodiac you will explore the polar world, getting up close to icebergs, glaciers, and iconic wildlife

The Bird Cliffs of Alkefjellet

Svalbard’s most famous bird-watching site, Alkefjellet is alive with guillemots, gulls, and kittiwakes

Hornsund

Part of the South Spitsbergen National Park, the Hornsund is a fjord found on the west side of Spitsbergen, on the southern tip of the island.

Please Note

The probability of sailing into Scoresby Sund is high (based on our experiences from 1993 – 2019), but there is still a chance (about 10%) that ice will obstruct passage into the fjord system. All itineraries are for guidance only. Programs may vary depending on ice, weather, and wildlife conditions. Landings are subject to site availabilities, permissions, and environmental concerns per AECO regulations. Official sailing plans and landing slots are scheduled with AECO prior to the start of the season, but the expedition leader determines the final plan. Flexibility is paramount for expedition cruises. The average cruising speed of our vessel is 10.5 knots.
