Cruise Itinerary:

Day 1:

Arrive in Longyearbyen, the gateway to your Arctic adventure. You'll make your own international flight arrangements - please let us know if you'd like recommendations on airlines or routes. Upon arrival, you will be met at the airport and transferred to Funken Lodge, where you will spend one night.

In the evening, enjoy a four-course set dinner with wine pairing at the atmospheric Gruvelageret Restaurant, a short transfer from the lodge.

Day 2-11:

On Day Two, there will be a transfer from the Funken Lodge to the ship in time for embarkation. On arrival to the ship, there will be a welcome briefing by the Expedition Leaders.

Thereafter, your time aboard M/S Polarfront will be spent exploring the Svalbard Archipelago in search of Arctic wildlife and frozen landscapes. The exact itinerary will depend upon the weather conditions, the density of the pack ice in the north and wildlife opportunities.

During your Arctic safari you can expect to visit ice-filled fjords framed by breath-taking snow-capped peaks. Alongside stunning landscapes, go in search of polar bears as they hunt for seals, seek out sunbathing walrus and spot whales breaching in the icy seas. On shore you may come across Arctic fox, Svalbard reindeer and beautiful Arctic flora.

Day 12:

You will arrive back into Longyearbyen, disembark and then time to say your final farewells and begin your journey home.

Before you arrive

Preparing well is key to staying comfortable in the Arctic. Expect temperatures between -3.9°C and 0°C, rarely dropping below -5°C or rising above 5°C-though wind chill can make it feel colder. Waterproof outerwear and rubber boots are essential for zodiac and land excursions, while warm layers such as fleece, wool, or down provide insulation and wind protection. We also recommend packing a camera for wildlife photography and binoculars for spotting from the ship or zodiac.
