Destinations: Svalbard

Ship: m/v Ortelius

Highlights: Arctic Fox, Beluga Whale, Antarctic Fur Seal, Kittiwake, Polar Bear, Walrus, Bearded Seal, Svalbard reindeer, Long Hikes

We enjoyed the amazing wildlife as the polar bear nearby on the shore. But also the beautiful flora, the incredible calving glaciers (Monaco Glacier was very active). The zodiac cruises were an great adventure and the expedition team was excellent. Also the captain (Peer) and the whole staff on board did an excellent job. We can fully recommend the lovely Ortelius and the trip to Svalbard.
