REYKJAVIK TO LONGYEARBYEN
ARCTIC SVALBARD CRUISE
This is a voyage that will take you from being a tourist to being a traveller. If hidden beaches, sweeping valleys, surreal geology and unique wildlife are your cup of tea, then this is the cruise for you. Explore the land of fire and ice enjoying everything this prismatic island has to offer. Follow this with an in depth discovery of the Arctic, where you'll be impressed by the many fjords, bays and glaciers. But it is surely the special cold-adapted land and marine animals that live here who are the true stars of the region.
Beginning with Iceland's inspirational backdrop, venture north to experience isolated communities that have learnt to live among the elements. Be amazed by the frozen volcanic island Jan Mayen and even enjoy a couple of R&R days to relax and learn all about the Arctic. Because that is where we are going to next: the frozen north at the top of the world.
Remote, mysterious and extreme, the Arctic has been topping bucket lists for years. While the animals - of which there are many - may be elusive, the unexpected richness of the raw tundra makes up for it. Think bright coloured flowers underfoot, noisy colonies of seabirds nestig on the cliffs and silent, majestic marine mammals swimming past. 'You may arrive expecting a barren place of snow and ice, but you will leave with a very different impression.
