The Ultimate Svalbard Mini-Cruise Experience
Looking for a unique, high-quality product to add to your Arctic portfolio? Hurtigruten’s Svalbard Adventure Mini-Cruise is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will appeal to well-traveled clients seeking something truly extraordinary. This 5-night program combines comfort, culture, and remote wilderness in a way few Arctic products can.
Departing from Longyearbyen—the northernmost town on Earth—your clients will sail deep into the heart of the Arctic aboard the MS Serenissima, a small expedition ship designed for intimate exploration. Along the way, they’ll visit glaciers, historic settlements like Ny-Ålesund, and even attempt to cross the 80th parallel near Moffen Island, home to walrus colonies and a chance for polar bear sightings.
This cruise is available only on select departures in summer and is ideal for clients looking for soft adventure, immersive nature experiences, and high-level storytelling from local guides. With limited availability and a strong brand behind it, this is a product that sells itself to the right audience—and delivers unforgettable memories.
