Follow Norway's majestic fjord-carved coast, past the North Cape, to the glaciers and polar bears of Arctic Svalbard -- one of the few places remaining where Nature provides highlight after wild highlight.

Heading north among Norway's thousands of islets on this enchanting Arctic cruise, the scenery becomes overpoweringly dramatic. This is the fjordlands—a region that stretches 1,000 miles. Each fjord is different from its neighbor:  roaring waterfalls, granite cliffs and tiny villages that cling to the steep sides of the fjord walls.

Then just 350 miles north of Norway's mainland, lies the Svalbard Archipelago, a wilderness region of massive icebergs, deep fjords, ice-capped mountains—and the masters of the Arctic, polar bears. Svalbard is the best place on earth to observe polar bears in their natural habitat--on the pack ice. And no one gives you a more immersive and respectful Arctic cruise experience there than we can.
