Few places offer you better chances to see polar bears in their natural habitat than Svalbard. Expedition Team undergoes a specialist polar bear safeguarding programme recognised by the Princess Royal Training Awards. With expert eyes and deep local insight, they know how to navigate sea ice and scan remote coastlines for opportunities to see these Arctic icons at a respectful distance.
 
Summer in Svalbard is brief but bursting with life thanks to the 24-hour light. The season reveals walruses hauled out on rocky shores, reindeer grazing on tundra, Arctic foxes darting between stones, and whales surfacing in glacial bays. Bird cliffs come alive with sound and colour, and if ice conditions allow, we may even push beyond 80° north — a rare and memorable achievement.
Landscapes that Tell a Story
From green tundra to sculpted ice, Svalbard’s landscapes reflect both the power and beauty of the High Arctic. Come ashore with our expert guides to explore remote headlands and relics of early exploration. With small-boat cruises and landings guided by AECO guidelines and regulations from the Norwegian government, you’ll experience the Arctic in ways that are immersive and responsible.
