Day 3-8
May 6–11, 2026 | Exploring the Arctic

• We operate in true expedition style, letting nature dictate our day-to-day movements within an immense Arctic wonderland. Our fully stabilized, ice-class expedition ship probes deep into the ice where the polar bears forage, walrus sun themselves, and the Svalbard reindeer roam. Join our spotters on the bridge as we scan the floes and islands for these iconic creatures, along with bearded and ringed seals; Arctic fox; and whales that call these waters home, like beluga, fin, and minke. There’s no greater thrill than a sighting that brings everyone rushing to the bow or bridge for a close-up view.

• Sail deep into protected bays and fjords, where even a novice kayaker can comfortably paddle surrounded by sparkling icebergs and dramatic mountains. Video footage from our Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) allows you to peer into the mysterious world that exists 1,000 feet below us during recaps with our multi-talented field staff.
