Voyage Overview

13‑day all‑inclusive Svalbard Expedition Cruise with round-trip flights from Oslo with extended stay in Longyearbyen

Voyage Highlights

Crossing the 80th parallel north

Embark on a true High Arctic expedition as we set our sights on the 80th parallel, on the doorstep of the North Pole. Depending on favourable ice conditions, we'll attempt a bold circumnavigation of Spitsbergen, exploring rugged landscapes in one of Earth’s most remote regions and encountering remarkable wildlife along the way.

Land of the polar bear

Under the Midnight Sun, enjoy 24 hours of daylight, ideal for wildlife watching with our expert guides. From the ship or by Zodiac, you'll have the chance to spot polar bears, reindeer, Arctic foxes, walruses, and a variety of seabirds, all thriving in their natural habitat.

Life in Longyearbyen

This voyage includes two additional days in Longyearbyen, with a curated programme designed to immerse you in life in the world's northernmost permanent settlement and prepare you for the adventure ahead.

Ship

MS Spitsbergen

HX (Hurtigruten Expeditions)

Rebuilt in 2016 and extensively refurbished in 2025, MS Spitsbergen combines modern expedition capability and adaptability with elegance and simplicity. With space for just 150 guests, she offers a relaxed, intimate atmosphere that speaks to Scandinavian style — and the agility to access remote places larger ships can’t.
