TRIP DESCRIPTION
A WILD TERRITORY LOADED WITH HISTORY
Welcome aboard our journey along the northwest coast of Spitsbergen; an area rich in majestic fjords and mountains, great glaciers, wildlife and much history.
Our objective for this trip is to know the flora and fauna of the archipelago. Different shore excursions will be made, including excursions to glaciers.
Although we won’t completely circumnavigate Svalbard on this trip, there are great opportunities to see polar bears, whales, seals, and walruses. In Svalbard there is the so-called “midnight sun” until August 11, so there will be light 24 hours a day.
On this trip we will use a 21 meter long expedition sailboat. It is a very stable and comfortable boat built in steel, made to navigate in arctic waters. The ship has many amenities and all the essential safety elements to navigate through ice.
Practical information:
Safety:
Svalbard is a wild territory with a population of polar bears of more than 2,000 specimens, all activities on land will be supervised by our polar guide with experience in risk management in the area. It is advisable to be in possession of accident and rescue insurance (everything and that in Norway rescues are free).
On the boat, all the management falls on the Skipper of the boat, who will take all the measures for safe navigation. The safety material to navigate will be delivered upon arrival and in the same way a briefing will be carried out to guarantee maximum security throughout the trip.
Food and accommodation:
The sailboat is fully equipped with heating to be comfortable inside both for meals and for sleeping. The boat has 6 cabins and 5 bathrooms. The meals will be made on board among all the members of the group.
