    • Longyearbyen, Norway
    Welcome to Svalbard, where rugged brown and green mountains ripple up from the Arctic tundra and snowmelt rivers glisten under the summer sun. Your journey begins in Longyearbyen, the Svalbard archipelago's largest settlement. Once a coal mining colony, it's now a lively hub for adventurers, scientists, and engineers working on world-renowned research projects such as the Global Seed Vault. You'll be transferred from the airport to your hotel Funken Lodge for check-in. If you have the time, explore the surrounding area or simply relax before your first activity. In the early evening, a bus collects you for a short 10-15 minute drive through the vast Adventdalen (Advent Valley) to Camp Barentz - a cluster of cabins, including a replica of the one where Willem Barentz, Svalbard's discoverer, overwintered in 1596. You'll be greeted by your knowledgeable host, who'll be armed with polar bear protection, and welcomed into the warmth of the firelit cabin. Over drinks, homemade reindeer bidos, coffee, and dessert you'll learn fascinating facts and stories about the 'King of the Arctic'. Afterwards, step outside to photograph the wild landscape, perhaps spotting reindeer, grouse or foxes before returning to your hotel in Longyearbyen. ...

    Cruise Begins
    • Cruise Begins
    • Longyearbyen, Norway
    After breakfast, there is still some time left before you are transferred in the afternoon to the ship. Spend this time however you like and at your own pace. But whatever you do, take a moment to just be here, now, in Svalbard. You're at a latitude more than 78N and under 1,500 kilometers from the North Pole itself. The air of this Arctic desert is fresh and pure, and temperatures in summer average between zero and eight degrees Celsius thanks to a warm northern branch of the Gulf Stream. In the evening, your ship will cast off from Longyearbyen and your sea voyage begins. Get settled into your cabin, and with the sun still high in the sky, watch Longyearbyen retreat into the horizon as you sail away into the spectacular Isfjord and head even further north. ...

    • Ny Alesund, Norway
    At the tip of the Brogger Peninsula, on one of the Kongsfjord's shores, is Ny-Alesund. Like Longyearbyen, it began as a coal mine but became host to scientific stations from the mid 20th century. During the summer, there are over a hundred researchers based in the town, representing 20 glaciology and climate institutes from more than ten countries. Wander around what is one of the northernmost settlements in the world, drop in at the local museum and souvenir shop, or send a far-flung postcard back to friends and family from the small post office. Be aware that due to the sensitive scientific instruments this is a 'radio silence' zone, meaning mobile phones must be turned off. Finally, you will get to experience pure peace! If you weren't up in time to enjoy the impressive views of Kongsfjord on the way to Ny-Alesund, make sure you're on deck as we leave. It's one of the largest fjords in the area, with an entrance guarded by two colossal creaking glaciers that regularly deposit ice into the fjord. This stretch is also a good place to look out for walrus basking on the shores and for many different species of migrating birds, including puffins, king eiders, pink-footed geese, and guillemots. Arctic fox and Svalbard reindeer can sometimes be spotted on land, while the white beluga whale has been known to surface in the waters here too. If we're lucky, we might even see a polar bear prowling the coast searching for prey. Leaving Ny-Alesund, we turn the ship around and begin to head out across the Barents Sea in the direction of mainland Norway. ...

    At Sea
    • At Sea
    Today is a day at sea - a chance to slow down and simply enjoy life onboard. If the weather is kind, step out on deck to soak up the Arctic summer light and keep an eye out for whales, dolphins, or other sea life breaking the surface. Join one of the Expedition Team's talks in the main hall for fascinating stories of Norway's history, culture, and wildlife, or unwind with a drink and good conversation in the bar. Meals onboard celebrate Norway's Coastal Kitchen, showcasing fresh local ingredients and authentic regional flavors. Later, you might find a quiet corner in the lounge, book in hand, as the ship glides steadily south. ...

    Tromso, Norway
    • Tromso, Norway
    • Torsken, Norway
    After a day at sea, we arrive in mainland Norway. Our first stop of the day is Tromso, to drop off any cargo from Svalbard and pick up cargo bound for ports to the south, before we continue south to Senja. The island is one of the country's largest, and northern Norway's fast-rising star destination, as you'd expect for a place ranked among CNN's top ten most beautiful islands in the world. Often proudly described by locals as a 'mini Norway', Senja has a concentration of diverse landscapes that mirror different parts of the Norwegian coast, from the sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and lofty mountains of its northern coast to the rocky coastline and pine forests of southern Senja and Anderdalen National Park. You'll find rolling hills and birch forests to the east. Disembark in the charming fishing village of Torsken and explore by bus, e-bike, on foot, or take to the fjords on a wildlife safari on one of the optional excursions. ...

    • Stokmarknes, Norway
    • Svolvaer, Norway
    Start the day with a few hours in Stokmarknes, a historic town and the birthplace of Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express. It's a fitting place for the Hurtigruten Museum, where you are immersed in the atmosphere of a different era on a retired 1956 ship, MS Finnmarken, proudly encased in glass on the waterfront. After Stokmarknes, we'll sail via Raftsundet and Trollfjord to Lofoten. The rest of the day is all about exploring this breathtaking archipelago. Hailed as one of the most spectacular areas in all of Norway, you'll understand why as you see its jagged green cliffs rise dramatically out of the ocean, climbing high into the sky like giant teeth. The beating heart of the archipelago is the town of Svolvaer where your ship will be based. There are shops and restaurants to enjoy, and the hours can be spent exploring and getting to know the town yourself. To experience the mountains, islands, and villages around Svolvaer, choose from a variety of handpicked top Lofoten excursions. You can go fishing, kayaking, or sit back and enjoy the incredible scenery on foot or on a bus tour. ...

    • Bessaker, Norway
    From the Lofoten Islands, we head south across the open sea and the Arctic Circle. Soak up the ocean views from the deck or simply soak in the hot tub. You'll catch sight of the beautiful Norwegian coast again about an hour before we arrive in Bessaker, a small village in Trondelag county. We'll spend the afternoon at Bessaker. Home to just 200 residents, it's known for its excellent fishing opportunities and the surrounding waters boast plenty of skrei, coalfish, and pollock. The annual fishing festival, held on the third weekend of July since 1979, attracts thousands of visitors. Explore Bessaker and its impressive natural surroundings at your own pace - you can expect live music, a warm welcome in the museum, and tasty coffee and cake in the local pub and cafe to be waiting for you - or opt to join a hike, go on a bus tour to a local organic farm, sail on a nostalgic cutter fishing boat, or enjoy a guided e-bike tour. ...

    Alesund, Norway
    • Alesund, Norway
    • Saebo, Norway
    The ship will make a brief stop in the town of Alesund, known for its Art Nouveau architecture and picturesque position on a peninsula below Mount Aksla. If you're joining the overland excursion to Hjorundfjord and Saebo, this is where you disembark, or you can explore the town on foot. Near to Alesund, cutting through the peaks of the Sunnmore Alps, some 1,700 meters high, is magnificent Hjorundfjord. Its picture-perfect position embedded in the Sunnmore Alps means it is the area's hidden gem and a secret from most other ships. On the banks of one of Hjorundfjord's branches is the idyllic village of Saebo. It's a beautiful spot to enjoy at your own pace - but don't miss the free concert in the church. You can see more of the area on an optional guided walk through the beautiful scenery of the Urke Valley. We are fast approaching the last day of our sea voyage. What better way to celebrate the Svalbard Line experience than a farewell dinner on our last night. ...

    We arrive in Bergen early in the morning. After one last hearty breakfast, it's time to bid farewell - to the ship, the crew who made your Svalbard Line voyage so memorable, and the fellow travelers who shared it with you. Together, you've journeyed along Norway's legendary coast, through landscapes that linger as memories forever. But your adventure isn't over. A transfer will take you to your hotel in the heart of Bergen, where you'll spend the night surrounded by the city's impressive history and charm. Founded in 1070 CE, Bergen still wears its heritage proudly. Wander through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Bryggen district, where colorful wooden wharfs recall the city's Hanseatic past. Explore cobbled alleyways, stop by a cozy cafe, or ride the Floibanen funicular for sweeping views of the city and sea. Don't miss the lively fish market - alive with the scents and sounds of Norway's famous coastal tradition. ...
