Spitsbergen Explorer

Departures: June 17, 2010 to August 13, 2010
Rate Range: $4,490 to $9,590

This 11-day active adventure begins and ends in Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen, one of Norway's Arctic islands in the Svalbard archipelago. The aim of this expedition is to circumnavigate the coastline of the largest island in the group. We expect to sail magnificent fjords, cruise in Zodiacs past towering sea cliffs and encounter polar bears and walrus in their natural habitat. Optional kayaking is available.

There is a photography focus on the July 24, 2010, departure aboard Akademik Sergey Vavilov. Award winning wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein will be the special guest.

Book any of three departures aboard Akademik Shokalskiy before November 30, 2009 and you will save $500 per person.
