| Overview |
The Arctic, one of the most awe-inspiring destinations in the world where words fail to capture such a sensory feast. This 13 day cruise onboard an ice-strengthened ship offers a unique expedition that covers three countries and allows you to get close to the Arctic's spectacular, pristine scenery and incredible wildlife, including the indisputable king of them all, the Polar Bear. The voyage focuses on comfort and exploration, spending as much time ashore as possible, combined with educational lectures onboard covering topics such as bird life, marine mammals, vegetation and landscapes. The ship departs from Longyearbyen and sails the waters of western and northern Spitsbergen, an island that forms part of the Norwegian-owned archipelago of Svalbard. From here, we set sail to Greenland, the largest island on Earth, and as yet relatively undiscovered. Its stunning coastlines provide an amazing backdrop to this Arctic experience. Our final journey is across the Denmark Strait to the volcanic wilderness of Iceland, ending in the town of Akureyri. 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.
