Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1 Arrive Oslo, Norway

Arrive in Oslo and transfer to your hotel. Norway's capital sits at the head of its fjord and rewards an afternoon on foot before the journey north. Gather in the evening to meet your fellow travellers and the expedition team.

Day 2 Fly to Longyearbyen, embark

Board a charter flight north to Longyearbyen, the main settlement of Svalbard, ringed by mountains and glaciers. Explore the town before you embark your ship and sail out into the Arctic light, the days ahead shaped by ice and weather.

Days 3 - 8 Exploring Svalbard

Six days to explore the archipelago at the pace the ice allows. The route stays flexible so the ship can follow the wildlife, whether edging into the pack ice in search of polar bears, drifting past walrus on a floe, or nosing into a fjord beneath a calving glacier. Ashore you may walk on the tundra among reindeer and nesting seabirds, with Zodiac cruises and kayaking bringing you close to the ice. Long hours of daylight stretch the days, and the expedition team and National Geographic photographer are on hand throughout. Specific landings depend on conditions.

Day 9 Bear Island (Bjornoya)

Far out in the Barents Sea, midway between Svalbard and the mainland, lies Bear Island, a remote nature reserve of towering sea cliffs. Sea and weather permitting, Zodiacs take you along the cliffs of the southern coast, where kittiwakes, guillemots and fulmars wheel in their thousands and the swell breaks against the rock. It is one of the great seabird stations of the north, rarely visited and quite unforgettable.

Days 10 - 11 Soroya and Senja

Reach the coast of northern Norway and the islands of Soroya and Senja, a world of deep fjords, fishing villages and sharp granite peaks. Hike the headlands, kayak the sheltered inlets and explore ashore, watching for sea eagles overhead and, in the villages, a way of life shaped by the sea. The scenery here is among the most dramatic on the Norwegian coast.

Day 12 Tromso, disembark

Sail into Tromso, the lively capital of the Norwegian Arctic beneath its snow-streaked peaks. Disembark after breakfast and transfer to the airport for your onward journey.

Day 1 Arrive Oslo

Arrive in Oslo and transfer to your hotel. Norway's capital sits at the head of its fjord and rewards an afternoon on foot before the journey north. Gather in the evening to meet your fellow travellers and the expedition team.

Days 2 - 3 Fly Tromso, explore Senja and Soroya

Fly north to Tromso, explore the mountainous islands of Senja and Soroya, a world of deep fjords, fishing villages and granite peaks, with hiking, kayaking and shore walks.

Day 4 Bear Island (Bjornoya)

Sea and weather permitting, cruise the towering seabird cliffs of remote Bear Island, far out in the Barents Sea.

Days 5 - 11 Exploring Svalbard

Sail north into the high Arctic and explore Svalbard at the pace the ice allows, in search of polar bears, walrus and the wildlife of the pack, with Zodiac cruising, kayaking and walks ashore.

Day 12 Longyearbyen, disembark and fly to Oslo

Return to Longyearbyen and disembark, then board a charter flight south to Oslo.
