Arctic Summer Sailing and Hiking Adventure

Svalbard, an archipelago situated high in the Arctic Circle, is a land of stark beauty and dramatic landscapes. Known as the ‘land of the midnight sun’, it offers 24-hour daylight during the summer months, making it a unique destination for adventure seekers. The region is home to more polar bears than people, and its rugged terrain is a testament to the raw power of nature.

Sailing in Svalbard is an experience like no other. Aboard the Noorderlicht, a traditional tall ship, you’ll navigate through icy fjords and past towering glaciers. The ship’s crew are experts in Arctic navigation, ensuring a safe and exhilarating journey. The opportunity to witness wildlife such as polar bears, walruses, and whales in their natural habitat is a highlight of the trip.

Onshore, Svalbard offers a wealth of activities. Guided hikes take you across glaciers and through valleys, offering breathtaking views and the chance to explore the unique flora and fauna of the Arctic. The region’s history is rich with tales of exploration and survival, and visits to historical sites provide insight into the lives of early settlers and explorers.

Cuisine aboard the Noorderlicht is a delightful mix of hearty meals and local delicacies. The ship’s cook prepares fresh, wholesome dishes that reflect the flavours of the region, ensuring you’re well-fuelled for your adventures.

The best time to visit Svalbard is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is milder and the days are long. This is the perfect time to experience the midnight sun and explore the Arctic wilderness in all its glory.
