Billefjorden, Svalbard and Jan Mayen 17 16 D I SCOVER MORE AT SWANHE L L EN I C .COM Svalbard: Earth’s wildest outpost Just 500 miles from the North Pole, the remote Svalbard archipelago is one of Europe’s last great wildernesses. The largest island, Spitsbergen, is home to the northernmost settlement in the world - the rugged Longyearbyen. Beyond the town, dramatic snowy peaks and enormous glaciers frame vast, seemingly endless tundra deserts and silent watery inlets choked with icebergs. For most of the year, Svalbard is a harsh and foreboding place where only the toughest forms of nature survive. Yet at the height of the Arctic summer, the sun glows through the night, wildflowers pop up across the tundra, and Svalbard comes to life. The polar bear, often referred to as the King of the Arctic, reigns supreme in Svalbard, while walrus, reindeer, ringed seals, Arctic foxes, and seabirds are also present, as well as several whale species CRU I S E CAL ENDAR Itinerary From⇢To Ship Night Departure Arctic Odyssey Longyearbyen ⇢ Longyearbyen SHDiana 8 7 Jun 2023 Arctic Odyssey Longyearbyen ⇢ Longyearbyen SHDiana 8 15 Jun 2023 Svalbard Explored Longyearbyen ⇢ Longyearbyen SHVega 7 6 Jul 2023 Svalbard Explored Longyearbyen ⇢ Longyearbyen SHVega 7 20 Jul 2023 Svalbard Explored Longyearbyen ⇢ Longyearbyen SHVega 7 27 Jul 2023
