Around Spitsbergen, in the Icy Realm of the Polar Bear - 10 days
About this trip
This ten-day voyage circles Spitsbergen, taking you into the icy realm of the polar bear, the undisputed King of the Arctic. Along the way you have chances to spot walrus, reindeer, a wealth of bird species and a surprisingly beautiful flora that clings to this rugged northern landscape.
Near the mouth of Liefdefjorden you go ashore for a walk across the tundra of Reindyrsflya, before sailing on to cruise near the impressive face of the Monaco Glacier. The waters at the glacier front are a favourite feeding spot for thousands of kittiwakes, and with luck a polar bear may be sighted on the ice itself.
