DESCRIPTION
A remote frontier at the edge of the Arctic, Longyearbyen is the world's northernmost town and the starting point of our polar journey. Nestled between rugged mountains and vast glaciers, this community of 2,500 welcomes only a handful of intrepid travelers each year. Aboard our ice breaker ships, venture deeper into the high Arctic toward the North Pole. Spot polar bears on the ice floes. Snowmobile across endless fjords. Hike into ancient ice caves. Visit the Global Seed Vault, buried within the mountains. Expect endless daylight, pristine wilderness, and the profound silence of the polar desert—a rare journey few will ever experience.
