Your Arctic adventure starts in Longyearbyen, with an overnight stay at the Spitsbergen Hotel.

We start the day with a guided sightseeing trip including a visit to Svalbard Museum. This tour ends at the pier, where MS Nordstjernen will be ready for embarkation. Once underway, we set a course for the Russian settlement of Barentsburg where there will be opportunities to visit the Pomor Museum (optional) and enjoy a lively folklore show. After this visit we will continue out of Isfjord and head north along the Prins Karls Forland.

The North West Corner is scattered with islands, fjords and beaches and has a long history of exploration. We arrive in Magdalenefjord in the morning, and hope to make our first Polarcirkel boat landing here

North Spitsbergen offers a strikingly varied landscape ? from the largest flat plain on Svalbard; Reinsdyrflya (the reindeer plain), to the red stone of Devonian geology, remnants of volcanoes and even the northernmost hot spring on Earth. The day will be spent sailing towards the Monaco Glacier, passing a number of small isletswhere eider ducks nest during the summer. If we are lucky we may spot a polar bear searching for eggs here. If the ice conditions are favourable we will sail past 80? North and towards Moffen, an island which is often host to walrus.

This is the largest fjord on the North West coast of Spitsbergen. A large side fjord called Krossfjord may also be visited during this day. The landscape varies from large tundra plains to alpine peaks, with dramatic glaciers tumbling into the ocean. At 78? 55? N, Ny-?lesund is the world?s northernmost year-round community. Previously a coal mining community, Ny-?lesund is now an advanced high Arctic research station. In the age of early polar exploration Ny-?lesund was the starting point for numerous expeditions towards the North Pole. A number of countries run their own national research stations here, and there is a lot of activity here in the summer.

Arriving in Longyearbyen this morning, where you Arctic voyage ends.

Fly from Oslo to Longyearbyen in the high Arctic and stay overnight.

Our voyage starts in Longyearbyen where you will board the MS Nordstjernen. Cruise to the Russian settlement of Barentsburg, where there will be opportunities to visit the Pomor Museum (optional) and a lively folklore show. After this visit we will continue out of the Isfjord and head north along the Prins Karls Forland

These large fjords in North Spitsbergen offer a strikingly varied landscape. The day will be spent sailing towards the Monaco glacier, passing a number of small islets where eider ducks nest during the summer. If we are lucky we may spot a polar bear searching for eggs here.

Krossfjorden, with its intricate network of inlets and bays, hides a rich mixture of birdlife and cultural heritage. You spend this morning exploring the fjord, before continuing to Ny Ålesund. A former mining town settlement, the town today is the northernmost permanently inhabited Arctic Research Station on Earth. A number of countries run their own national research stations and there is a lot of activity here in the summer.

The Isfjord is the most prominent fjord system on Svalbard. As we sail into the inner parts of this fjord the landscape changes. Marvel at the large U-shaped valleys, carved out of the mountains by the giant glaciers that covered the area some ten thousand years ago. On arrival in Longyearbyen there is a guided sightseeing including Svalbard Museum. The rest of the day is at your leisure and you will be served both lunch and dinner at the Spitsbergen Hotel.

Your Spitsbergen Adventure Voyage comes to an end.
