Svalbard Summer 10 Day Micro Cruise

Set sail under the midnight sun, for unforgettable wildlife encounters in Europe’s last great wilderness.


See the High Arctic archipelago’s famous wildlife against a pristine backdrop of fairytale fjords, calving glaciers, and snow-capped mountains. Witnessing this endlessly rich habitat – home to reindeer, whales, Arctic foxes, polar bears, and much more – illuminated by the midnight sun is, simply, one of the greatest shows in nature.


See Svalbard come alive with wildlife.


On this summer expedition, explore the last stop before the North Pole, home to some of the most magnificent creatures and most stunning scenery on the planet, all lit up by the midnight sun.


The warmth of the sun invites migratory species back to Svalbard and encourages resident animals to come out from their wintery hiding places, making summer the best season to spot whales, seabirds, walruses, and polar bears in their natural habitat. 


Summer is when Svalbard is at its most accessible, meaning we can adventure further north, marvelling at the glacial landscape of Northwest Spitsbergen and scouting the ice edge for unique wildlife encounters.


Head out on Zodiac cruises and hikes amid the Arctic majesty of picturesque fjords, mountains, and icebergs. Search for walrus haulouts on remote beaches, and scour the sea ice for polar bears. This is the Arctic experience you’ve been searching for.
