Departure in June 2024
Region: Arctic
Destinations: Svalbard
Ship: s/v Rembrandt van Rijn
Highlights: Arctic Fox, Beluga Whale, Arctic Tern, Barnacle Goose, Harp Seal, Kittiwake, Minke Whale, Polar Bear, Atlantic puffin, Walrus, Bearded Seal, Svalbard reindeer, King Eider, Snow Bunting, Long-tailed Jaeger, Fulmar, Ivory Gull, Pink-footed Goose, Ruddy Turnstone, Parasitic Jaeger, Birding
Astonishing nature (cliffs, rocks, glaciers, tundra, beautiful plants, mosses, fjords).
Arctic silence (except for a few moments completely offline), the sun that never sets.
An international crew that thinks along. A fantastic expedition leader Jordi and captain Ismael, 27 pleasant fellow travelers and 2 bird guides. Animals in their own habitat, such as polar bear, walrus, seal, bearded seal, arctic fox, reindeer, graceful belugas, minke whale, colonies of auks, kittiwakes and puffins.
History of Svalbard, whaling, mining, the science centre, information about past expeditions to the North Pole, geological background etc. etc. too much to mention.
Good food and good weather!
