Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Sunday - Aug 6, 2023

Longyearbyen, Norway

Depart: 6:00 pm

Longyearbyen is in a valley on the shores of the idyllic Adventfjord, surrounded by steep mountains and several glaciers. There are only around 25 miles of roads in this village, which is divided into several neighborhoods, including the town center and Nybyen (New Town), which consists of charming miners' barracks constructed after the war, as well as guest houses, a restaurant and gallery, and not to mention beautiful views of the landmark mountain, Hiorthfjellet. Be sure to visit the Svalbard Museum as a break between the plethora of activities like summer dogsledding or cruising to the abandoned Russian city of Pyramiden.

Day 2 - Monday - Aug 7, 2023

Svalbard, Norway

Day 3 - Tuesday - Aug 8, 2023

Svalbard, Norway

Even in one of the most isolated regions of the Arctic, there is still the captivating history of a pioneering past. Our expedition leaders, along with the captain and onboard pilot, will determine possible landings each day for all-out explorations. Wildlife abounds throughout the archipelago of Svalbard, such as puffins, reindeer, Arctic terns, and foxes. An expert photographer will help you look out for the perfect photo opportunity of these animals, but especially for the elusive polar bear. As Zodiac cruises may bring you closer to glaciers, keep your eyes on the water for whale fins. CAPTAIN'S CHOICE - Captain's Choice ports of call add to the sense of adventure and an element of surprise. Your ship's captain will sail around changing weather conditions as needed and take you to the best areas for wildlife viewing.

Day 4 - Wednesday - Aug 9, 2023

Honningsvag, Norway

Arrive: 2:30 pm

Day 5 - Thursday - Aug 10, 2023

Honningsvag, Norway

Depart: 1:00 am

Welcome to the northernmost town of Norway, Honningsvag, one of the most remarkable destinations on Earth. Enjoy the magnificent landscape as you cross the 71st parallel toward North Cape, the nearly vertical seaward edge of the ice cap of the North Pole. As one of the northernmost points on the continent, the landscape turns into a fantastical spectacle, from forests filled with herds of reindeer to mountain peaks obscured by fog. Bird watching in Honningsvag is exciting, especially on the little island of Gjesvaerstappan, where all sorts of Arctic seabirds - including gannets, puffins, and cormorants - can be seen on the cliffs, along with seals.

Tromso, Norway

Arrive: 10:30 pm

Day 6 - Friday - Aug 11, 2023

Tromso, Norway

Not only will you witness magnificent fjords and glaciers throughout Tromso but you will also immerse yourself in a sophisticated cultural life and architectural delights. A superb example of blending the built environment with the natural setting is the Arctic Cathedral, an architectural marvel made up of aluminum-coated concrete panels, making it a stunning facade resembling an iceberg. To see the real icebergs, all you have to do is take the Fjellheisen cable car 1,525 feet above sea level for incredible views of the Norwegian fjords. You can also stroll around the Arctic-Alpine Botanical Garden, visit the Science Centre of Northern Norway, or gain new knowledge at the city's museums including the Polar Museum, Tromso University Museum, and Perspektivet Museum.
