Enjoy a 1-night hotel stay to explore this exciting city.

 
Longyearbyen, Norway

Board your one way charter flight from Oslo to Longyearbyen. As the world’s northernmost community, Svalbard is a land of dramatic snow-covered peaks, icy glaciers, and more polar bears than people. There are endless outdoor adventures to be had here, from hiking through glacial caves and discovering local wildlife via boat tour, to dogsledding and kayaking in Arctic waters. Enjoy a 1-night hotel stay to explore this city.

 
Longyearbyen, Norway

Embark your 10 day Ultimate Svalbard Expedition Cruise from onboard MS Spitsbergen today.

 
Ny-Ã…lesund, Norway

Today, soak in the serenity of Ny-Ålesund and its neighbouring fjords, such as Krossfjord and Kongsfjord. Ny-Ålesund is one of Svalbard’s northernmost settlements, and a hub for global science and climate research. Be ready for adventure, as there may be an opportunity to launch HX’s small expedition boats, go ashore to hike or cruise past majestic glaciers.   

 
North West Spitsbergen National Park, Norway

Over the next two days, delve into the untamed wilderness of Northwest Spitsbergen National Park. Amidst steep mountains, glaciers and offshore islands, seek out Arctic wildlife like whales, seals, walruses and reindeer. With luck, spot elusive polar bears from the ship’s Observation Deck. Experience adventure with kayaking, expedition boat rides and hiking. 

 
Ice Edge Attempt

If conditions allow, today you’ll sail north and cross the 80th parallel to explore Svalbard’s ever-changing polar ice edge. This is a magical place where the waters are filled with sparkling ice floes and drifting pack ice, and wildlife such as seals and walruses can be spotted. If the ice edge is out of reach during your expedition, you’ll instead explore the equally impressive deep fjords, mighty glaciers and enchanting scenery of the Svalbard coast.

 
South Spitsbergen National Park, Norway

Discover the unspoiled wonders of South Spitsbergen National Park. Traverse its majestic landscapes, where towering mountains meet icy fjords. Encounter a rich diversity of Arctic wildlife, from polar bears to seabirds. Prepare for an extraordinary journey into the heart of this pristine Arctic wilderness. 

 
Hornsund Fjord, Norway

Continue south towards Hornsund, one of Svalbard’s most striking fjords. Here, rich and colourful vegetation makes way for towering mountains along this picturesque waterway. Head out on deck to spot calving glaciers, the snowcapped Mount Hornsundtind and wildlife like seals and whales.  

 
Bellsund, Norway

Today, head to the snow-tipped mountains of the Bellsund sound, whose cliffs are home to large colonies of auks, guillemots and northern fulmars. Onshore, keep an eye out for Arctic foxes and Svalbard reindeer. You can also spot early mining settlements and learn about Wanny Woldstad, the first female trapper.  

 
Longyearbyen, Norway - Copenhagen, Denmark

Disembark MS Spitsbergen in Longyearbyen and board your one way flight to Copenhagen today. Welcome to Copenhagen!
