ITINERARY From close-up encounters with icebergs and glaciers to the region's plentiful wildlife, this is a voyage of non-stop highlights. Always on the lookout for wildlife that live in this polar wilderness, you'll explore this landscape not only by ship but also on foot and via Zodiac. Roaming polar bears, lounging seals, grazing reindeer, and colonies of birds all co-exist in this harsh land we dare only to explore a few months of the year. DAY 1 LONGYEARBYEN Transfer from Longyearbyen to the G Expedition for a 4pm embarkation. ( 1D ) DAYS 2-7 SVALBARD/SPITSBERGEN Visit ice-covered fjords with breathtaking mountain scenery and glaciers. Spend time exploring the natural wilderness searching for polar bears hunting seals. Look out for arctic foxes or Svalbard's unique reindeer at one or more stops. The Expedition crew's goal is to give travellers the best possible opportunity to see wildlife in and around the Svalbard archipelago (dependent on weather conditions). Early-season voyages often provide the greatest opportunity to see large ice floes in the Arctic pack ice, which usually means excellent wildlife viewing. Later in the season, the Expedition will cover more territory, possibly exploring the entire archipelago. This can lead into the less explored regions of Nordaustlandet and Kvitøya, or the continental edges where large whales are attracted by nutrient rich upwellings. ( 6B, 6L, 6D ) DAY 8 LONGYEARBYEN On the departure day, there will be transfers available to the Longyearbyen airport for all passengers with flights scheduled after 4am.
