Svalbard
At the top of the world, a place of raw arctic wilderness, enter the frozen realm of the polar bear, where you will be mesmerised by spectacular fjords, rugged mountain ranges and a fossil-rich polar desert. Stay alert for the regal polar bear and other creatures within its realm: walrus, beluga whales, arctic fox, reindeer, guillemots and kittiwakes.
“Exceeded expectations and our expectations were high given this was a top ‘bucket list’ destination. This trip rates alongside the best we have ever done (and we have done lots), partially due to the destination but also due to the way it was done by Aurora. Would recommend Aurora to anyone.”
