Svalbard, Norway

Kingdom of the polar bear

April 30 to May 9, 2024

 

Far North beyond any other civilization on Earth is the Norwegian archipelago situated between mainland Norway and the North Pole. Svalbard is a rugged and remote Arctic landscape dominated by frozen tundra, mountains, glaciers and exciting wildlife. Exploring this magical part of the world on board a small expedition ship offers exceptional up-close viewing and photographic opportunities of the Arctic wildlife, including the “King of the Arctic”, the majestic polar bear.

The largest carnivore on the planet, the Polar Bear reigns over the sea ice and treacherous Svalbard tundra. Svalbard is home to 2,000 - 3,000 polar bears, more than the population of humans on Svalbard. The most sought after sighting amongst the diverse arctic fauna, polar bears are often found along the east coast and in the fjords to the north where their favorite prey, ringed seals, are concentrated.
