Breakfast enjoyed at the hotel, followed by the day at leisure in Longyearbyen. Activities for this day can be arranged. The group will meet at the M/S Stockholm at around 16h00 for embarkation and a safety briefing after which we will set sail and begin our arctic adventure.DAY 3-11
We embark on our extraordinary journey aboard the M/S Stockholm, a vessel meticulously crafted to navigate the rugged landscapes of Svalbard's Arctic archipelago. Each day promises an immersive exploration of this pristine wilderness, where breathtaking fjords, ancient glaciers, and awe-inspiring landscapes await our discovery. With a flexible itinerary tailored to seize photographic opportunities, adapt to ever-changing weather conditions, and manoeuvre through the dynamic pack ice of the North, we will explore Svalbard's natural wonders. The M/S Stockholm itself serves as a remarkable base for capturing unforgettable images, and you'll have ample opportunities to hone your photographic skills from the comfort of the vessel. However, the true essence of our adventure lies in the numerous Zodiac excursions and island landings that await, bringing you face-to-face with Svalbard's untamed wilderness and offering unparalleled photographic opportunities. Each evening, as we gather for dinner, the day's adventures will be recounted, and the forthcoming itinerary will be shared after collaboration with the captain and ship's crew. This collaborative approach empowers us to focus your efforts on the most captivating sightings, while also seeking out specific subjects that hold the promise of unforgettable close-up encounters. Throughout our voyage, there will be moments when we traverse the open sea, providing a serene respite to review our images, enjoy informative lecturers or retreat to the comfort of your cabin, or capture the breathtaking vistas that have made Svalbard an iconic destination for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike.Day 12
On the last morning, we will enjoy breakfast, followed by disembarking from the ship for the groups onward travels.EXTEND YOUR JOURNEY
