Set high in the Arctic Ocean, the remote Svalbard archipelago covers an area roughly the size of Ireland and offers a truly Arctic experience, on the edge of the inhabitable world. The main island of Spitsbergen is the focus for small ship cruising, boasting the greatest variation of natural features found at such high latitudes through a mixture of rugged mountains, sweeping glaciers, vast icecaps, endless open tundra and beautiful fjord indented coastlines.
To the west across the Greenland Sea lies the world’s largest island, Greenland. Dominated by a vast icecap, only a narrow coastal fringe of rugged mountains and intensely green valleys remains ice-free. Natural grandeur combines with a fascinating Inuit culture and Viking history and icebergs drift through serene sounds.
Your holiday should feel like it’s been designed just for you. I’m here to make that happen with a personal touch and local insights.
