Departure in June 2024

Region: The Arctic

Destinations: Svalbard

Ship: m/v Plancius

An unforgettable journey in "North Spitsbergen Explorer - Versatile landscapes, sea ice and wildlife" from 13 to 20 of June. The boat was very comfortable, food was really good and the staff is very professional and kind, always smiling. The program was well prepared and the weather was just great. Excursions with Zodiacs are lots of fun (and splash sometimes :D) and they organize different levels of hiking. If you don't want to take part at the hikes you can easily stay onboard. All guides are excellent and full of knowledge and you can see from their eyes how happy they are to show these incredible landscapes to every new tourist that join the cruise. They still get emotional and I think this is really great. The pack ice seems unreal. We saw lots of wildlife (polar bears, whales, birds, arctic foxes, reindeers..). Definitely recommend it!!Text
