I had the time of my life - I only hit home 7 hours ago and if I could go back tomorrow then I'd fling another handful of frozen pizzas at the family and get myself straight back over to Svalbard!! Thank you for recommending this trip - I loved it!read more

I saw a polar bear, lots of walruses, seals, reindeer and an arctic fox as well as a wide variety of birds... It was excellent. It was really well organised and being on a smaller ship with around 100 passengers meant the stops were not overwhelmed with tourists.read more
