THE ARCTIC ADVENTURE

SAILING IN SVALBARD ISLANDS

Sailing aboard the MS Nordstjernen is the essential experience for visiting Spitsbergen. This trip focuses in particular along the Northwest National Park where it will be possible to admire extraordinary arctic landscapes, glaciers and cliffs populated by colonies of birds that migrate here every summer. If the weather and sea conditions allow it, an attempt will be made to reach the 80th parallel, visible in the open sea only in this place on earth.

No compromise

Visit a unique place, inhospitable to man, where one will inevitably leave one's heart: the Svalbard Islands are the place that everyone should visit, at least once in their life.


Come with us aboard the MS Nordstjernen and sail the Barents Sea in all serenity.


Beyond the 76th parallel north, Arctic Circle, there is a magical place, populated by incredible and unique animals, where you can admire the midnight sun, with the nights illuminated by day, and if luck will assist us we could also see the King of the Arctic: the polar bear. Our landings will give you close encounters with both Arctic wildlife and ghost towns of whalers, arctic hunters and miners. Visiting different and fascinating settlements such as Barentsburg, Longyearbyen or Ny Ålesund is a fundamental part of a trip to Spitsbergen. MS Nordstjernen has Norwegian officers and crew. The official language on board is Norwegian. On board there are always Scandinavian, English and German speaking guides.
An exclusive guide is provided for this single departure.
