Svalbard Archipelago is unlike any other cruise port, a true gateway to Arctic exploration where every voyage reads like a living map of polar history and pristine wilderness. A flexible itinerary lets us ride favorable ice and weather through the northern reaches, tracing routes once traveled by Andrée, Amundsen and Nobile, and lifting the veil on landscapes that few travelers ever see. Our signature experiences unfold among the narrow waterways and stark mountains of Krossfjord and Raudfjord, with visits to historic settings such as Ny Alesund, Ny London and Amsterdamoya offering shelves of stories and scientific legacies. Along the way we hope to glimpse distinctly Arctic wildlife—from walruses hauled out in noisy colonies on remote shorelines to reindeer grazing alpine slopes, ptarmigan camouflaged in the tundra, and mighty polar bears patrolling for their next meal. The fleet brings intimate, expedition-style exploration with ice-strengthened vessels, zodiac launches, expert naturalists and an industry-leading safety record, paired with onboard services built for comfort and discovery: panoramic observation lounges, interactive lectures, gourmet Arctic dining, spa and wellness amenities, a robust activity schedule for ashore exploration, and seamless guest-to-crew attention that makes every day feel like a premiere voyage. Each port of call promises a blend of dramatic fjords, historic settlements, and wildlife encounters that set Svalbard Archipelago apart as a destination rather than merely a port of call.
