July 4 2027 Departure:
Day 1 Tromsø, Norway
Departure: 6PM
Not only will you witness magnificent fjords and glaciers throughout Tromsø, Norway, but you will also immerse yourself in a sophisticated cultural life and architectural delights. A superb example of blending the built environment with the natural setting is the Arctic Cathedral, an architectural marvel made up of aluminum-coated concrete panels, making it a stunning façade resembling an iceberg. To see the real icebergs, all you have to do is take the Fjellheisen cable car 1,525 feet above sea level for incredible views of the Norwegian fjords. You can also stroll around the Arctic-Alpine Botanical Garden, visit the Science Centre of Northern Norway or gain new knowledge at the city’s museums including the Polar Museum, Tromsø University Museum, and Perspektivet Museum.
Day 2 North Cape Scenic Navigation
The rugged cliffs of North Cape jut out into the sea and stand out against the backdrop of sky, creating the image of a wide-open horizon that invites exploration. Surrounded by enchanting fjords and starkly barren coastlines alike, it’s a stunning picture of the beautiful diversity of Norway.
Day 3 Bear Island
A destination that embodies the ultimate expedition experience, Bear Island is a testament to the raw beauty and untamed wilderness that makes the High Arctic so captivating. As you approach the island, you’re greeted by sheer cliffs that stand as silent sentinels, touched by the relentless caress of icy winds. These dramatic landscapes form the backdrop to an exhilarating adventure - a place where the thrill of discovery is matched only by the awe of nature’s grand design. As your yacht glides along its rugged coastline, keep your eyes peeled for the playful antics of curious seals, and marvel at the majestic flight of seabirds that call this domain home. The air is alive with the promise of the unexpected, as expedition landings invite you to walk paths forged by explorers past. Here, you are not just observing nature; you are a part of it.
Day 4-11 Exploring Svalbard – Captain’s Choice
Even in one of the most isolated regions of the Arctic, there is still the captivating history of a pioneering past. Our expedition leaders, along with the captain and onboard pilot, will determine possible landings each day for all-out explorations. Wildlife abounds throughout the archipelago of Svalbard, such as puffins, reindeer, Arctic terns and foxes. An expert photographer will help you look out for the perfect photo opportunity of these animals, but especially for the elusive polar bear. As Zodiac cruises may bring you closer to glaciers, keep your eyes on the water for whale fins.
CAPTAIN’S CHOICE – Captain’s Choice ports of call add to the sense of adventure and an element of surprise. Your ship’s captain will sail around changing weather conditions as needed and take you to the best areas for wildlife viewing.
Day 12 Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway
Arrival: 7:00 AM
Longyearbyen is in a valley on the shores of the idyllic Adventfjord, surrounded by steep mountains and several glaciers. There are only around 25 miles of roads in this village, which is divided into several neighborhoods, including the town center and Nybyen (New Town), which consists of charming miners’ barracks constructed after the war, as well as guest houses, a restaurant and gallery, and not to mention beautiful views of the landmark mountain, Hiorthfjellet. Be sure to visit the Svalbard museum as a break between the plethora of activities like summer dogsledding or cruising to the abandoned Russian city of Pyramiden.
