| Overview |
This 8 day Arctic expedition cruise is a great introduction for those who have not visited the Arctic region before. Boarding an ice-strengthened, expedition vessel, we set sail from Longyearbyen and explore the Western and Northern sides of Spitsbergen, the largest island in the Svalbard Archipelago, located half way between the mainland Norway and the Arctic Circle. At our highest point, we reach 540 miles from the geographic North Pole! Specially designed landing craft allow us to explore the shorelines and experience at first hand the Arctic's spectacular, pristine scenery and incredible wildlife, and hopefully a sighting of the magnificent Polar Bear. Other wildlife in this region includes Arctic Foxes, Walruses, Harbour Seals and Puffins. Although the tour operates in an expedition style, life on board is very comfortable and includes lecturers who provide educational presentations covering topics such as global warming and the effect it is having on the Arctic and its wildlife. A fantastic week in a part of the world that simply has to be seen to be believed. Please note: The cost of the tour shown is the price for the cheapest cabin, per person, based on twin share. Depending on the ship used for a particular departure, there may or may not be private bathrooms included with the cheapest cabin. Higher standard cabins with private facilities are available at higher prices. Triple cabins are also available on some departures. Please consult your travel agent or your Mondo Adventure Travel representative for further information. A 20% deposit is required to secure your booking, and full payment at least 2 months prior to departure. Special cancelation conditions apply.
