11 days, Longyearbyen to Longyearbyen

REALM OF THE POLAR BEAR IN DEPTH. Similar to our “Realm of the Polar Bear” tour, but with three additional days of exploring. Scour the ice and tundra in search of the elusive polar bear and encounter even more icebergs, glaciers, and unique wildlife than you ever thought possible on this 11-day expedition. Search for lounging seals, grazing reindeer, and colonies of birds under the midnight sun.
