Conditions permitting, the voyage circumnavigates Spitsbergen, the largest island in the Svalbard archipelago, with an abundance of spectacular wildlife. Kittiwake by the thousand, Arctic Foxes, Bearded Seals, Little Auks and Walrus are a certainty and Beluga Whales are often seen. There is also the possibility of the ultimate Arctic sighting, Polar Bear.

One of the highlights of the trip is a cruise alongside the 4th of July Glacier, home to nesting Kittiwakes, Brunnich’s Guillemots and a host of wild flowers. Weather permitting the cruise sails around Nordaustlandet visiting Kvitoya where the Swedish Explorer Andree met his end.

This is a rare opportunity to experience one of the world’s most captivating wilderness areas at an outstandingly good price. Flying time to the Svalbard archipelago is only a couple of hours from the UK, and flight & accommodation packages with one night in Oslo are priced from £595pp. For reservations call Wildlife Worldwide 0845 130 6982
