Welcome to Aurora’s Jewels of the Arctic expedition.
Explore Svalbard, where near-endless daylight creates a surreal atmosphere. Polar bear sightings will quicken your pulse, while walruses haul out on sea ice. Guillemot’s cries echo from towering cliffs, adding to the wild scenery. In East Greenland, sail deep into Scoresbysund, the world’s largest fjord. Visit Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the most remote Inuit settlements. Cruise among iridescent icebergs, sculpted into fantastic shapes by nature. Walk across the tundra, which blooms with brightly coloured flowers, creating a stunning contrast to the icy surroundings.
Jewels of the Arctic Highlights:
• Watch arctic fox hunt beneath towering cliffs that are home to enormous colonies of guillemots and fulmars.
• In Svalbard, push through pack ice, watch for polar bears and ringed seals.
• Quietly approach musk oxen and reindeer on tundra walks.
• Zodiac-cruise along vast glacial fronts and into Øfjord as the sunset paints the surrounding 2,000-metre (6,562-feet) walls a vibrant pink.
