Itinerary
Svalbard Ski and Sail – from seaweed to summit, an extraordinary expedition close to the North Pole.
Join our local ski guides for a unique skiing experience under the North Pole with the ship as a comfortable base. We sail to where the ski and snow conditions are the best, while we enjoy the comfortable life on board- top service and fantastic food! Small boats take us from ship to shore and everything is lined up for magical ski experiences in Svalbard's unique mountains.
Snow and weather conditions determine where we sail, either south to the Hornsund area or north to the Krossfjorden/Kongsfjorden area. We find the best areas for disembarkation near mountains that offer amazing skiing for all 3 levels.
