This unique 13-day voyage is a first for Quark Expeditions! Like true arctic adventurers, we’re tossing out our itinerary, choosing instead to let our search for polar bears and other wildlife determine our route and shore landings.
Your foray into modern-day exploration will bring you to the Arctic of your dreams, immersed as you’ll be in all the natural wonders of the land of the midnight sun. Cruising along the coast, ice edge and inner fjords of Spitsbergen, one of the most prolific destinations for viewing arctic wildlife, you’ll be rewarded with the opportunity to photograph the iconic polar bear in its natural habitat.
Glacier-topped mountains, massive glacier fronts and deep-walled fjords soar majestically out of the icy sea, providing breath-taking backdrops for vast swaths of untouched tundra. Talk about picture perfect! Exploring this awe-inspiring area of the Svalbard archipelago never ceases to impress with its raw beauty, and you’ll experience it first-hand on this once-in-a-lifetime journey.
