This expedition voyage begins and ends in Longyearbyen on Svalbard and explores selected coastal and island regions of western and northern Spitsbergen aboard the Ocean Albatros, a polar expedition vessel able to navigate seasonal pack ice.
The journey takes place during the Arctic summer under near-continuous daylight. Depending on weather, wind and ice, fjords, glacier fronts, islands and coastal stretches are visited by ship or explored by Zodiac. As on a classic expedition, the exact programme remains flexible to allow safe landings and suitable opportunities for nature and wildlife observation. The region is home to walrus, seals, whales, seabirds, reindeer and polar bears, though sightings cannot be guaranteed. The expedition team also provides information on the geology, history and ecology of the area. Sea passages, shore landings and lectures combine to create a factual exploration of the Arctic environment.

Itinerary: Svalbard – Northwards to the Midnight Sun

Day 1: Departure from Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen
Embarkation takes place in the afternoon in Longyearbyen. After check-in and safety briefings, the ship leaves the harbour and continues along the west coast of the archipelago. Longyearbyen is a small Arctic settlement with a distinctly Nordic character.

Day 2–3: Northwest Spitsbergen
You reach the northwest of Svalbard, which has been protected as a national park since 1973. The area contains traces of early Arctic exploration and whaling history, including old graves and the remains of blubber ovens. Today, nature has largely reclaimed the region, providing habitat for local flora and fauna.

Day 4: Northeast Spitsbergen
The route continues into northeastern parts of Svalbard, an area influenced by the absence of warmer ocean currents. Large glaciers flow directly into the sea, and even in summer the waters may still contain pack ice. Vegetation is sparse and wildlife is adapted to the cool conditions, including Arctic foxes and seabirds. The expedition adjusts routes and landing sites according to prevailing weather, wind and ice conditions.

Day 5: Northern Spitsbergen
Today you reach some of the northernmost land areas of the archipelago along the northern coasts of Svalbard. The landscape is austere and often influenced by ice. If conditions allow, you may reach the island of Nordaustlandet and the small island group of Sjuøyane in the far north. Landings may be made to explore these remote areas. Vegetation is limited mainly to mosses and lichens. The region supports a variety of birdlife, including grazing geese and several less common gull species. In the evening, the voyage continues towards the Arctic pack ice extending northwards from Svalbard.

Day 6: In the Arctic pack ice
North of Svalbard, and subject to ice conditions, the vessel enters areas of seasonal pack ice in the Arctic Ocean. This sea ice forms a dynamic habitat that changes considerably over the course of the year and supports specialised wildlife. With favourable conditions, seals, whales, seabirds or polar bears may be observed. The expedition team uses suitable weather and visibility to explore the area carefully, either from the ship or by Zodiac.

Day 7: The Kongsfjord region
The route then leads into the Kongsfjorden, a broad fjord bordered by active glaciers and prominent mountain formations. A visit is usually made to the research settlement of Ny-Ålesund, one of the northernmost permanently inhabited communities in the world. Today it serves mainly as a scientific base and has a long history as a starting point for polar research and exploration.

Day 8: Disembarkation in Longyearbyen
The voyage concludes with the return to Longyearbyen. Disembarkation takes place here, marking the end of the expedition and the start of your onward or return journey.

Additional Information for Expedition Cruises: The itinerary and route described are provided as examples only and may be adjusted or changed at any time due to weather, ice and tidal conditions, as well as for safety reasons. Specific landing sites, locations or route sections therefore cannot be guaranteed. The captain and expedition leader will make all final decisions regarding the route, landings and daily programme on site. Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed. Landings and Zodiac excursions depend on local conditions and regulatory requirements. Optional activities have very limited availability; we recommend booking them well in advance, often weeks or months before departure, as they may be fully booked by the time of travel; their operation depends on weather, ice and safety conditions as well as minimum participation. Polar regions are remote and dynamic natural environments, therefore programme changes or delays may occur.

Kayaking

Glide through the waters and take in the royal grace of the icebergs, see the varied birds and seals, and maybe even the whales in their natural habitat under the supervision of experienced kayak guides, who will ensure your safety during each outing. Although kayaking opportunities are possible in most locations during each excursion in the Arctic region, weather, sea and ice conditions will dictate the when and where to ensure your safety and improve your experience. In order to sign up for this activity you need to have previous kayaking experience and attend a mandatory safety briefing by the Kayak Master.
