___________________

Explore the High Arctic wilderness within the Arctic Circle between 74° and 81° north on this Svalbard Discovery cruise on board a boutique expedition ship. Admire the striking scenery on a voyage around Norway`s outlying Svalbard archipelago where only a few intrepid adventurers and explorers have been before. These remote islands of Spitsbergen, Nordaustlandet and Edgeoya reveal their secrets as you come ashore to rugged landscapes bordered by tundra where wildflowers blossom under the midnight sun. Polar bears prowl the icy wilderness for hapless walrus, beluga whales swim along and expect to see black-legged kittiwakes swooping overhead as you cruise through icy fjords and past towering glaciers. Your journey to and from the world`s most northerly town will leave you feeling on top of the world.
