What people love about Svalbard Tours
- Svalbard - Last Stop before the North Pole 2026
We really enjoyed the Expedition, the Expedition Team was fantastic, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. The food (i.e. dinner) was very good and of great quality. The ship itself was dated, our cabin (#518) was old and worn, it needed WC replacement, and also had very dated and stained bedlinen. Also, despite CoViD reminders of wearing masks and keeping distance, many crew and most guests did not adhere to this (this should have been enforced), and we ended up with Cruise guests with CoVid, which we tested positive for a few days later also as result of Cruise. This was a very unpleasant experience.
What our customers ask about Svalbard Tours & Trips
What wildlife will I see in Svalbard?
You'll find an amazing variety of Arctic wildlife here. Polar bears are definitely the stars but there's so much more - walruses lounging on beaches, Svalbard reindeer wandering the tundra Arctic foxes darting around and lots of whales and seals in the waters. Head to Alkhornet bird cliff and you might catch Arctic foxes hunting for eggs or over at Prins Karls Forland you'll often see walruses sprawled out on the beach. The wildlife viewing is incredible - imagine watching polar bears hunting on ice floes or seeing thousands of Brünnich's guillemots nesting on the massive cliffs at Alkefjellet. Keep your camera ready because these moments happen when you least expect them.
When's the best time to catch the Northern Lights?
If you're hoping to see the Northern Lights you'll want to visit during polar night from mid-November through late January. Longyearbyen gets properly dark then which makes it perfect for aurora viewing. There's this great Northern Lights Evening experience at Camp Barentz about 10km outside town where you get dinner and learn all about the lights while watching them dance overhead. It runs until December 29 2019 and if it's not available when you visit they'll sort you out with a husky or snowmobile adventure instead.
