Summary An extended expedition encompasing Spitsbergen and smaller outlying islands Day 1 Start In Helsinki, Finland Day 2 Embarkation Day In Longyearbyen, Svalbard Day 3-13 Exploring Spitsbergen And The Svalbard Archipelago Day 14 Disembark In Longyearbyen And Fly To Helsinki Details Spitsbergen is the largest island of the Svalbard archipelago, and this voyage will attempt a circumnavigation of the island. Lying entirely within the Arctic Circle, Spitsbergen is rugged, wild, unspoiled—utterly unforgettable. When it comes to viewing Arctic wildlife, Spitsbergen is known as one of the most prolific destinations.The island and surrounding area offers one of the best opportunities to view Polar bears, and with luck we'll be able to see the world’s largest carnivores in their natural habitat. Walrus populations love Spitsbergen as well, feeding in the food-rich icy waters around the island. Whales and seabirds will also entertain during the sailing portions of the expedition, and we may catch a sighting of reindeer or Arctic fox when taking Zodiac excursions to shore.
Highlights Extended expedition covers more of the Svalbard Archipelago Greater exploration of the smaller, outlying islands and remote wilderness Polar bear hunting sites of Phippsoya and Isbukta 24-hour daylight enhances wildlife viewing in this captivating land of peaks and glaciers
