Encountering the Lord of the Arctic

Embark on a grand expedition aboard the Heritage Discoverer, deep into the heart of the Svalbard archipelago, one of the planet’s last remaining wild places. Amid monumental glaciers, drifting pack ice, sparkling icebergs, and vast, flower-filled tundras in the height of the polar summer, Spitsbergen reveals landscapes of breathtaking beauty. In this world shaped by ice and light, encounter iconic wildlife: polar bears, walruses, whales, seals, arctic foxes, and reindeer thrive in a pristine and spectacular environment. As you sail, the fascinating history of whalers, trappers, and great Arctic explorers intertwines with the sighting of some of the Arctic’s largest seabird colonies. An exceptional immersion in the heart of the Far North, where nature still reigns supreme.
