Svalbard
WHY SVALBARD?
Located between mainland Norway and the North Pole, Svalbard is one of the most dramatic and untouched destinations on Earth. A cruise here offers access to:
Towering glaciers and icy fjords
Remote tundra landscapes under the midnight sun
Rare Arctic wildlife, including polar bears, walruses, reindeer, and whales
Fascinating human history from whaling stations to polar research hubs
It’s a bucket-list destination for travelers who want meaningful, high-end adventures in the world’s last true wilderness.
When to Cruise Svalbard
The best time to cruise to Svalbard is between May and September, when the ice melts enough to allow access to remote fjords and landings.
May–June: Polar bear sightings on sea ice, snow-covered landscapes
July–August: Midnight sun, peak wildlife activity, easier land access
September: Soft autumn light, fewer ships, potential for Northern Lights
Every season offers something unique—your ideal timing depends on your travel goals.
