ITINERARY
Day
0-1 : Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
Edinburgh,
the capital of Scotland, is a city that effortlessly combines ancient
history with a vibrant modern energy. Its streets are steeped in
stories, from the cobblestones of the Old Town to the elegant Georgian
avenues of the New Town, both recognized as UNESCO World Heritage
Sites. Visit Edinburgh Castle, majestically poised atop an ancient
volcanic rock, and stroll the Royal Mile leading to the regal Palace of
Holyroodhouse. Discover world-class art at the Scottish National
Gallery and find serenity in the Princes Street Gardens. Marvel at the
contemporary Scottish Parliament building, tour the decommissioned
Royal Yacht Britannia, and when night falls, immerse yourself in
Edinburgh's thriving cultural scene.
Day
1 : Longyearbyen, Norway
Longyearbyen, the seat of the Governor of Svalbard, is located in a
narrow valley along the shores of Adventfjorden a small tributary of
Isfjord, the largest fjord system in Svalbard. It extends 100
kilometers (60 miles) into the island of Spitsbergen. Nine large
tidewater glaciers, with a combined ice-front of 21 kilometers (13
miles), as well as dozens hanging glaciers drain into the fjord.
The town’s 2,100 inhabitants exist in one of the most
northern settlements on Earth, making their living by a combination of
coal mining, education and tourism. Because of the town’s
extreme isolation, proximity to wildlife, and Svalbard’s
pristine environment, unique laws exist that are found in few other
places. All individuals venturing outside of town are required to carry
a rifle for protection against polar bears, possessing a cat is
illegal, no one is allowed to be buried here and how much alcohol can
be purchased each month is restricted.
Longyearbyen was named after the American industrialist John Longyear
whose Arctic Coal Company began mining here in 1906.
Day
2-8 : Svalbard Experience
Svalbard
is a remote, vast and wild place, largely untouched by the human
presence. In visiting this destination, our plans and itinerary are not
set, as we allow the weather, conditions and wildlife to dictate each
day. Should a polar bear appear on the horizon we might stop the ship
or the Zodiacs in order to get a better look at it. Should ice choke
the waters in front of us, we might slow down and explore the edge of
this ice while admiring its colors and forms while searching for
wildlife, or else turn and choose another destination. Should storms
lash against the site we want to visit, we may opt to find a more
protected bay and explore a different spot. Whatever we do Svalbard
holds many beauties and mysteries and exciting discoveries are always
available for those whose eyes and hearts are open.
