Day 3 - Svalbard Archipelago

Welcome to the remote wilderness of the Svalbard Archipelago, a dramatic polar desert surrounded by rugged glaciers, frozen tundra, and craggy mountain peaks. Each day unveils a new breathtaking vista, from the dramatic contrast of tundra and volcanic islands sprinkled with lush greenery, to the occasional snow-capped peaks that emerge majestically from the landscape. 

 

Today, join an introductory presentation by the Discovery Team in the state-of-the-art theatre as they explain how your Zodiac and other Discovery excursions will work. 

 

From exciting landings to kayaking adventures, your Captain and Discovery Leader will select the best sites and activities based on the day’s conditions. 

 

Day 4 - Svalbard Archipelago

As you continue cruising around Svalbard, there may be opportunities to observe wildlife such as whales, Arctic foxes, seals, and seabirds. Be sure to keep the binoculars provided in your suite with you during your time on board or use the Swarovski telescopes in the Observation Lounge for a closer look at the Arctic wildlife. For wildlife photographers, we recommend bringing a telephoto lens for capturing distant wildlife. 

 

Tonight, choose from up to 10 world-class on board dining experiences. Perhaps make this the evening you try Koko’s Asian Fusion, a culinary celebration of Asia’s diverse flavours. 

 

Day 5 - Svalbard Archipelago

Join the Captain on the bridge as we sail through an Arctic wonderland. See how ice and weather conditions can rapidly change plans before your eyes. The unpredictability of an Arctic voyage is all part of the journey and adds to the excitement for the guests and the crew.  

 

Spotting the Arctic’s elusive wildlife might be a chance of luck, but thanks to the eagle-eyed, experienced crew, your chances are greatly increased on board Scenic Eclipse. You can also always look for the Discovery Team specialists to answer any questions you may have. 

 

Day 6 - Svalbard Archipelago

Open the blackout curtains in your ultra-luxury suite to reveal the midnight sun and step onto your private verandah to take in the inspiring view. Each day reveals a captivating new vista, from majestic glaciers floating in iceberg-speckled waters to towering snow-capped mountains rising above the lush green slopes of the tundra. 

 

Listen out for the loud crack of a glacier calving as you soak in the scenery from the Observation Deck and keep your eyes peeled for movement on the ice and in the water.   

 

Day 7 - Svalbard Archipelago

Continue cruising around the spectacular Svalbard Archipelago. When enjoying daily Discovery excursions, ask for the expert polar Discovery Team for photography tips and guidance. They will help you immortalise incredible moments while cruising on the Zodiacs and kayaking around impressive ice formations.   

 

Day 8 - Svalbard Archipelago

For many, the polar plunge is an exhilarating rite of passage and while the day may change, your Discovery Team will always look for a special place to set up the Discovery Yacht’s marina so that you can leap into the icy water below. 

 

After the plunge, warm up with a drink of your choice or head to the infrared saunas in the Senses Spa. 

 

Day 9 - Svalbard Archipelago

Start your day with a class in the PURE: Yoga & Pilates Studio. Alternatively, hit the fully equipped gym, where one-on-one fitness coaching sessions are available.    

Afterwards, head to the deck to look for the natives of the Arctic skies. In the summer, Svalbard has over 30 species of birds including the Svalbard rock ptarmigan, puffins, skuas, little auks, kittiwakes, and black guillemots, whose feathers get whiter the farther north they are found.   

 

Relax in the Observation Lounge, where you can read books and play board games in between birdwatching. In the evening, up to 10 extraordinary dining experiences await.  

 

Day 10 - Svalbard Archipelago

Svalbard is a wildlife photographer's paradise, offering countless opportunities to capture the Arctic’s untamed beauty. With its uninhabited and well-preserved ecosystem, this remote archipelago is one of the world’s premier destinations for spotting wildlife amid breathtaking landscapes of towering mountains and glistening ice. With a full itinerary of spellbinding destinations, your photo opportunities are seemingly endless.   

 

Back on board, warm up with a drink in one of your Discovery Yacht’s nine all-inclusive bars and lounges. Sip France's best in Lumiere's Champagne Bar, an aged whiskey at Scenic Lounge Bar or a cocktail in your cabana beside the Sky Bar.  

 

Day 11 - Svalbard Archipelago

The sound of ice cracking and popping may be disconcerting at first. By the end of your voyage, it could be one of your favourite sounds. Fall in love with all the shapes, colours and sounds of the environment around you. 

 

Today, join the Discovery Team in Zodiac excursions around nature’s floating ice sculptures. You may even see a Fata Morgana. These mirages look like ice cliffs in the distance, and you might find it hard to believe when your Discovery Team explains that they’re just an optical illusion on the horizon.  


Day 12  Svalbard Archipelago

As your unforgettable Svalbard voyage comes to a close, reflect on the incredible wildlife encounters, the awe-inspiring landscapes, and the vibrant tundra that made this expedition truly one-of-a-kind. From the fascinating geology of this remote wilderness to the exhilarating Zodiac and kayaking adventures, each moment has been a step into nature’s untouched beauty. As you share stories and memories with newfound friends in the Observation Lounge or during a final dinner in one of our onboard restaurants, cherish the moments spent exploring this extraordinary Arctic haven. This is more than a journey—it’s a collection of unforgettable memories.
