Svalbard Adventure | MS Sjoveien
Tour Description
Witness the magic of Svalbard, a remote Arctic Archipelago on a 9 day expedition cruise on board the comfortable 12-passenger ship M/S Sjøveien.
After spending a night in Longyearbyen, board the M/S Sjøveien for 7 nights. Experience stunning panoramic views and wildlife spotting from the deck, spend time at the bridge which is alway open, or relax in the outdoor hot tub at end of a day of adventures. There are shore landings and explorations via zodiac as you explore the remote Arctic.
In May, polar bear yearlings begin their first adventures across the ice, while Arctic foxes and Svalbard reindeer are still cloaked in their thick winter coats, adding to the rugged charm of the region. Seals and walruses often bask lazily on the frozen fjord ice, offering rare and fascinating glimpses of the wildlife that thrives in this harsh, yet beautiful environment. As June arrives, the snow begins to melt, revealing the early signs of summer. The bird cliffs are transformed into bustling wildlife havens, with thousands of seabirds returning to their breeding grounds, signaling the arrival of the Arctic summer.
