What is the name of the ship? Is there any information about the ship?

The boat names are Ultramarine and Ocean Explorer. You can check out the boat details and features in our Intrepid website.

Does it mean that in this case May 31 would be that first day? And the group will leave for Longyearbyen on June 1?

Can I reserve a single occupancy room on the ship for the duration of the cruise? How much extra would it cost?

I wanted to do a shorter tour six days and end up in St. John’s so this was perfect for me. Our guide Simon was excellent, very considerate and keen to show us new things. I thought the tour was a lovely balance of activity and some space. I saw all the important things I had come to Newfoundland for including the beautiful. Gros Morne national Park, some amazing icebergs and puffins.

I can only recommend this trip to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the musical history of country, Elvis Presley and New Orleans blues.

A busy week with an exceptional and personable guide. Mike Brown did all he could to make our experience in yellowstone and the grand tetons a lifetime experience. We were very happy, if exhausted by the tour.
