As of this year we have our new chartered ship with DNV ice class ICE 5. This ship will be able to sail far into even heavy pack ice. We will be independent on weather situations because this ship are built for being used in the pack ice.

On our intimate expeditions, aboard vessels specifically designed for Arctic wildlife sightings. Observe colonies of Walrus hauling themselves up onto the shore or basking in the midnight sun, and sail past towering cliffs populated by colossal seabird colonies.

Along with Polar Bears, Walruses and a myriad of birdlife, you can also find seals and the enchanting Arctic Fox who has adapted to this harsh climate by changing its fur from brown to white with the seasons.

Pack Ice expedition Svalbard

07. Jul 2026 - 21. Jul 2026
Svalbard is renowned for its rich diversity of Arctic wildlife. The most iconic resident is the polar bear, often referred to as "The King of the Arctic." These magnificent creatures traverse the frozen seas and rugged coastlines in search of seals and sustenance. It is not uncommon to witness polar bears caring for their cubs in this challenging yet thriving environment. While they may occasionally be spotted along the shores, the drifting pack ice is their true habitat. Remarkably, over 60% of the polar bear population migrates into the pack ice during early summer, making this region vital for their survival. This pack ice expedition Svalbard will be a unique chance for extraordinary wildlife encounters.
