From close-up encounters with icebergs and glaciers to the region’s plentiful wildlife, this is a voyage of non-stop highlights. Always on the lookout for wildlife that live in this polar wilderness, you’ll explore this landscape not only by ship but also on foot and via Zodiac. Roaming polar bears, lounging seals, grazing reindeer, and colonies of birds all co-exist in this harsh land we dare only to explore a few months of the year.

Itinerary

day 1 | Longyearbyen/Svalbard

Transfer from Longyearbyen to the Expedition for a late afternoon embarkation.

Meals included: Dinner


day 2-7 | Svalbard

This voyage is spent travelling in the world in which the polar bear survives. Our wildlife viewing opportunities are enhanced by exploring as many remote areas as possible. Spotting wildlife like the Arctic fox, Svalbard reindeer, and land or sea birds can be difficult, but well worth the effort. Ice and weather conditions permitting we can explore near sea ice, through fjords that lead to glaciers and icebergs, and discover bird nesting colonies, all from the platform of the ship. Alternatively, hop in a Zodiac to explore more closely, or be brought to land to visit historical sites and experience the tundra. We are always on the lookout for wildlife, ranging from endangered and rare polar species to sea mammals and birds. And, of course, we'll have our eyes peeled for polar bears - they can be found all throughout this region, but finding them can require patience and persistence. Come join us in the search!

Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner


day 8 | Svalbard/Longyearbyen

On the departure day, there will be transfers available to the Longyearbyen airport for all passengers with flights scheduled.

Meals included: Breakfast

G Expedition - New

G Expedition: Your Vessel for Deep Polar Immersion
The extensively refurbished G Adventures 128-passenger vessel, the G Expedition, is purpose-built to navigate the planet's most pristine polar regions. This ship seamlessly blends rugged performance with modern comfort, offering an intimate and enriching way to experience the Arctic and Antarctica.

Refined Comfort and Community:
Step aboard the G Expedition and discover a vessel that has undergone a comprehensive upgrade. Every detail is designed for your comfort and enjoyment, from refreshed cabins with private ensuite bathrooms to enlarged and inviting social spaces. The ship’s architecture fosters a strong sense of community, allowing you to connect easily with fellow travellers and expert polar guides.

Advanced Performance and Sustainability:
The G Expedition is equipped with cutting-edge technology to ensure your journey is as smooth and quiet as possible while minimizing environmental impact. Key features include:

  • Ice Class 1A: Certifies the vessel for safe navigation through challenging ice-filled waters.

  • Upgraded Stabilizers and Modern Propulsion: These systems work in harmony to deliver exceptionally smooth sailing and stability in open seas.

  • Significantly Smaller Carbon Footprint: The new, highly-efficient engines and modern propulsion system dramatically reduce emissions, reflecting a deep commitment to sustainable polar travel.

Unmatched Access and Intimacy:
With a strict limit of just 128 passengers, the G Expedition offers an experience that larger vessels simply cannot match. This capacity is key to our philosophy of deep immersion: we aim to get every single guest out on excursions twice a day (weather permitting). This means less time waiting and more time doing what matters most—stepping off the ship to be fully immersed in the magic, the wildlife, and the profound silence of the Arctic and Antarctic wilderness.
