We invite you to an expedition cruise with a visit to the legendary islands and glaciers of the remote Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, one of the most beautiful places on Earth!
Traveling beyond the Arctic Circle is not only amazing icy landscapes, but also countless fjords, the midnight sun and meetings with numerous representatives of the Arctic wildlife. The secrets of the distant Norwegian archipelago are truly revealed when you come ashore. With the help of Zodiac expedition boats, you will land on the pristine shores of the archipelago's islands, walk along the most beautiful fjord of Svalbard and be surprised at how noisy the seabird markets can be. Incomparable Arctic landscapes, unique wildlife and famous historical sites await you... and all this is surrounded by giant glaciers, icy fjords and colorful tundra.
Discover "your" Arctic in the atmosphere of comfort and elegance of an ice-class expedition vessel. Its small size and maneuverability will allow you to visit the most secluded corners! After all, it is in small bays and bays that the probability of close encounters with representatives of the animal world is high.
SH Diana is a real art boutique hotel on the water.

TRAVEL PROGRAM: TOUR TO svalbard
Day 1. ARRIVAL IN COPENHAGEN
The journey begins in Copenhagen.
A representative of Swan Hellenic will meet you. An organized transfer will take you to the hotel. You will have free time to relax after the flight and, possibly, to walk around the city. A flight to Longyearbyen is scheduled for the next day (flight schedules may change).
Overnight and rest at the hotel.
Meals included: no
Accommodation included: NH Collection Hotel
* Recommended flight:
- any convenient flight arriving in Copenhagen at any time on June 9.
Day 2. LONGYEARBYEN
Arrival in Longyearbyen from Copenhagen. Located on the shores of an idyllic Advent Fjord, surrounded by steep mountains and several glaciers, this tiny Norwegian town is home to lovers of unique polar nature from 53 countries around the world. The northernmost city in the world, Longyearbyen also claims to be the northernmost street and the northernmost pub. The main attractions of the city include the Svalbard Aviation Museum, the Svalbard Art Gallery, the Museum and Science Center, the Lutheran Church, the Sundial and the University Center. Bowhead whales and narwhals live in the surrounding Arctic waters.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner
Accommodation included: in cabins on the yacht
Days 3 - 8. EXPLORING SVALBARD
The next 5 days we will explore the islands and glaciers of Svalbard. A cruise around the archipelago can be called a real expedition, because the actual route depends on weather and ice conditions. Our experienced captain can adjust the course, sequence and duration of stops in real time based on the weather forecast and the advice of an expedition leader to offer travelers the best options for active exploration of the Arctic and to show as much as possible of the wildlife of Svalbard.
The vast polar archipelago located in the Arctic Ocean is a real Arctic fairytale! Colorful tundra, endless glaciers (more than half of Svalbard is covered with glaciers!) and fjords, blue sea ice, majestic mountains - incomparable arctic landscapes, rich wildlife and famous historical sites. The seasonality is especially felt here.
The polar night with the famous northern lights is replaced by bright winter months, which, in turn, give way to a wonderfully mild summer with its midnight sun. The Arctic silence here creates a unique atmosphere. You will experience peace, which is practically unparalleled on Earth. The history of the archipelago dates back to the 16th century, when Svalbard was discovered by an expedition of a Dutch explorer. For centuries, the history of Svalbard has been associated with mining, hunting, and whaling.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner
Accommodation included: in cabins on the yacht
