Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Longyearbyen
Depart 18:00
Longyearbyen, the northernmost permanent settlement in the world, is a unique port in the Svalbard archipelago, rich in history and breathtaking Arctic landscapes. Must-do experiences include savoring local delicacies like reindeer stew and exploring the stunning fjords of Raudfjord and Liefdefjorden. The best time to visit is during the summer months, when the midnight sun illuminates the stunning scenery.
Day 2
Day 2
Samarinvågen
Arrive 07:00Depart 18:00
Samarinvågen is a remote Arctic bay in southern Spitsbergen, Svalbard, set within pristine national parkland where exposed geological formations reveal millions of years of Earth history. Must-dos include Zodiac shore landings for tundra walks and watching for polar bears along the coastline. Visit June through August for midnight sun and the brief but vivid Arctic summer bloom.
Day 3
Day 3
Vårsolbukta
Arrive 07:00Depart 18:00
Vårsolbukta is a sheltered Svalbard bay on Spitsbergen's south coast, where the ruins of an abandoned marble quarry slowly dissolve into a wildflower-dotted Arctic tundra landscape. Must-dos include exploring the rusting mining relics, spotting Svalbard reindeer grazing on the tundra, and taking in the stark beauty of glacier-capped peaks rising above the bay. July–August is the best time to visit, when Arctic wildflowers bloom and the midnight sun never sets.

Must-dos include a Zodiac cruise to the Monaco Glacier's calving face, exploring the rusting mining relics, and scanning the tundra for polar bears and Arctic foxes. July is the optimal month, offering accessible ice conditions and continuous Arctic daylight.
Day 6
Day 6
Raudfjord
Arrive 06:00Depart 11:00
Raudfjord in Svalbard and Jan Mayen offers dramatic Nordic landscapes where fjords, glaciers, and pristine wilderness create scenes of remarkable natural grandeur. The essential experience is immersion in the outdoor environment—hiking, wildlife watching, and savoring the region's exceptional seafood in settings of extraordinary beauty. Best visited June through August, when the midnight sun bathes the landscape in golden light for nearly twenty-four hours. Cruise lines including Hapag-Lloyd Cruises feature this port on their most compelling itineraries. Whether you have a few hours or a full day, the port rewards exploration at every pace and in every direction.
Day 7
Day 7
Ny- Alesund
Arrive 06:00Depart 13:00
Ny-Ålesund, one of the world's northernmost settlements on Svalbard's Spitsbergen island, is a former coal-mining town turned elite international research station, renowned as the departure point for Amundsen's historic 1926 North Pole flight. Visitors should not miss a Zodiac excursion beneath the calving face of Kronebreen glacier and the extraordinary wildlife encounters — polar bears, Arctic foxes, and seabird colonies — found throughout Kongsfjorden and neighbouring Raudfjord. The optimal visiting window is July through August, when the midnight sun illuminates the tundra in perpetual golden light and sea ice conditions allow the fullest access to surrounding fjords.
