Itinerary
Day 1 -
Paris — Longyearbyen. Boarding
Longyearbyen is the northernmost capital on the planet. The scenery of this mining town is simply breathtaking. Glaciers, mountains, and unspoilt nature make you feel like you're in completely unexplored territory.
A charter flight from Paris to Longyearbyen awaits you in the morning and boarding your mega yacht in the afternoon.

Day 2 -
Hornsund
Today you will explore the southernmost fjord of the archipelago — Hornsund.
The fjord is of stunning beauty, because in its bay eight glaciers descend into the sea at once, turning into many icebergs that elegantly drift through its cold and mysterious waters.

Day 3 -
Bellsund
Let your imagination run wild in the heart of the majestic nature of the Bellsund Fjord.
It is here that you will follow in the footsteps of the pioneers who came from the Norwegian coast, or in the footsteps of the fur traders who settled here much later.

Day 4 -
Ice swimming
Today, at the northernmost point of our trip, the captain will walk along the edge of the pack ice, because it is here that bears, walruses and birds are likely to be seen.
And if the weather conditions and the condition of the ice allow, you can go on a cruise on the Zodiac motor rubber boat to get a unique experience in the midst of these floating ice blocks.

Day 5 -
Makeyane / Glacier of Monaco
Makeeyane is a small archipelago in the heart of Woodfjord, located at the intersection of Bokfjord and Lifdefjord.
Passing by the small islands, you can watch Arctic terns, whose eggs sometimes attract polar bears.
Then you will find yourself next to the majestic and most beautiful glacier of Svalbard, the Monaco Glacier, which is named after Prince Albert I.
Imagine the deafening sound of ice breaking off and flying into clear water. You may be lucky enough to see bears and whales to make the magical landscape even more perfect.

Day 6 -
Raudfjord / Smerenburg
Raudfjord means "red fjord", based on the color of the sandstone of the surrounding mountains. The western coast of this 20-kilometer fjord is dissected by many shallow bays, and at the tip of the fjord are the magnificent Shovobrin and Raudfjordbrin glaciers.
In the afternoon, surrounded by hills, steep slopes, lakes and lagoons, you will anchor on the sandy beach of Amsterdam Island, where the Dutch Smerenburg whaling station was once located.
This is one of the most important archaeological sites in Svalbard, where furnaces that were used to melt whale oil have been preserved. At the height of whaling, 200 people worked here, and several of them are buried here.

Day 7 -
Nu-Aalesund / Kongsfjord
During your cruise, discover Nu Aalesund, a former mining town that has been turned into a scientific base. Founded in 1916, it was the starting point for many Arctic expeditions, including the famous explorer Roald Amundsen.
Don't miss a visit to the museum and the famous post office, considered the northernmost in the world.
Kongsfjord (Royal Fjord) is located very close to Nu Aalesund. Your yacht will sail through this beautiful fjord, where snow-capped mountains are reflected in the water, and magnificent icebergs seem to be trying to surpass each other in beauty, delighting photographers.
Once you reach the end of the fjord, admire the three rocks that got their names from three Scandinavian countries: Svea (Sweden), Dana (Denmark) and Nora (Norway).
