Utilising the greenest technology on the market, the MS Bard brings you right among the wildlife-dotted fjords of Svalbard’s coastal wilderness, spotting the likes of whales and walrus. Heading out to the former mining town of Pyramiden, you’ll explore this Soviet-era ghost town, a window into the 1980s Soviet Union. Then, head to the monumental Nordenskiöld Glacier, where a giant wall of ice offers a breathtaking backdrop to a light lunch. Sail among beautiful fjords, perhaps spotting bearded seals, Arctic foxes and polar bears, depending on the season. It’s all bookended by included transfers to and from your accommodation.
