      Exploring Spitsbergen, the largest of the Norwegian-ruled Svalbard islands, rewards you with abundant wildlife and austere beauty. Here, youโ€™ll visit spectacular glacier fronts and steep-walled fjords with walrus, polar bears and Spitsbergen reindeer among your possible wildlife sightings. Birders will be thrilled to see arctic terns, skuas, long-tailed ducks, kittiwakes and ivory gulls. When conditions are right, you could sail within 10 degrees of the North Pole!

      While sailing south through the historic Greenland Sea, youโ€™ll learn about the wildlife and history of Greenland, your next stop. On deck, youโ€™ll learn to identify seabirds on the wing.
