Expedition
G Expedition - 128 Guests
Beyond the Arctic Circle - Tromso to Svalbard
Tromso to Longyearbyen

Think of this as our "Realm of the Polar Bear in Depth" with a twist - starting in Norway and including remote Bear Island for a fresh take on the Arctic. Over 11 unforgettable days, you'll cruise through the magical landscapes of the Norwegian Sea, Greenland, and Svalbard, exploring glacier-lined coasts, UNESCO-listed sites, and ancient Viking history. Perfect for travellers big on adventure but short on time, this expedition packs in wildlife sightings, jaw-dropping fjords, and endless Arctic wonder. Keep your eyes peeled for polar bears prowling the ice, seals lounging on the shore, reindeer grazing the tundra, and birds soaring under the midnight sun. It's wild, remote, and unlike anything you've ever experienced.

ITINERARY

Day 1: Tromsø
Embark aboard the Expedition in the afternoon and depart Tromsø in the late afternoon. Arrival transfer included.

Meals included: Dinner

Days 2–3: Bear Island

Sail northward from Tromsø spending a day at sea to travel to Bear Island, an untouched beauty of the Arctic. Think rugged coastlines, steep cliffs, and very dramatic landscapes. The island is home to millions of seabirds, including black-legged kittiwakes, puffins, and little auks. Bear Island is a remote and often overlooked part of the Svalbard Archipelago, allowing those who do visit an off-the-beaten-path adventure and epic wildlife.

Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner

Days 4–5: Svalbard

Continue sailing along the coast of Svalbard and explore near South Spitsbergen National Park. The fjords are characterized by dramatic landscapes, including snow-covered mountains, glaciers, and icy seas, offering stunning views. Start by seeing the Hornsundtind massif where you can enjoy the Arctic landscape and potentially view wildlife. The fjord cuts deep into the island creating a memorable visual experience. Search for bearded seals and maybe polar bears. The group will also visit Bellsund for other interesting historical sites and wildlife viewing.

Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner

Days 6–8: Svalbard/Greenland Sea

This voyage is spent travelling in the world in which the polar bear survives. Your wildlife viewing opportunities are enhanced by exploring as many remote areas as possible. Spotting wildlife like the Arctic fox, Svalbard reindeer, and land or sea birds can be difficult, but well worth the effort. Ice and weather conditions permitting we can explore near sea ice, through fjords that lead to glaciers and icebergs, and discover bird nesting colonies, all from the platform of the ship. Alternatively, hop in a Zodiac to explore more closely, or be brought to land to visit historical sites and experience the tundra. Always be on the lookout for wildlife, ranging from endangered and rare polar species to sea mammals and birds. And, of course, have your eyes peeled for polar bears - they can be found all throughout this region, but finding them can require patience and persistence. Come join us in the search!

Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner

Days 9–10: Greenland Sea/Svalbard

Taking advantage of local ice and weather conditions, explore more of Svalbard, one of those rare places on Earth blessed with both awe-inspiring landscape and compelling history.

Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner

Day 11: Svalbard/Longyearbyen

On the departure day, there will be transfers available to the Longyearbyen airport for all passengers with flights scheduled.

Meals included: Breakfast
