If you’re seeking a quintessential Arctic adventure marked by deep pristine snow and vast stretches of ice, early-season Spitsbergen (May and June) is the best time to go! ✅
The Midnight Sun provides 24 hours of daylight, perfect for landscape and wildlife photography. You’ll enjoy Zodiac cruising through deep fjords and ice-laden landscapes, kayaking past massive icebergs, and experiencing endless expanses of untouched white snow.
There’s also a chance to see polar bears returning to the ice edge after the long winter, along with other Arctic wildlife such as whales, walruses, Svalbard reindeer, and thousands of seabirds.
Due to increased demand, we’re scheduling multiple early-season departures in 2025—which are selling quickly.
Don’t miss out on this unique adventure!
