Svalbard, Norway
The remote wilderness of Svalbard is known as a polar desert, surrounded by rugged glaciers, frozen tundra, and craggy mountain peaks. Due to the extraordinary nature of the region, the sailing and expedition schedule is flexible. Your experienced captain and Discovery leader will use their expertise to design this section of your voyage from day to day, making the most of the long daylight hours, weather, and ice conditions to give you the best experience possible in this extraordinary part of the world. Your Scenic Eclipse voyage cruises at prime time for wildlife spotting, and there will be ample opportunities to spot the dominant predators of the region including the polar bear. Marine species in the area include the carefully protected walrus with its characteristic tusks and several species of whales.

Make sure you always keep your binoculars with you. Some of the possible landing sights that you may visit include Ny-Alesund, home to the northernmost post office in the world rich with history, the Northeast Svalbard Nature Reserve with the highest population of polar bears and walrus, and the Northwest Spitsbergen National Park, where you will explore magnificent fjords and the enormous Monaco Glacier. ...
