Spitsbergen cruise: embark on an unforgettable polar adventure
At Escales Polaires, we invite you to experience a Spitsbergen cruise like no other. Between majestic glaciers, spectacular fjords and unforgettable encounters with Arctic wildlife, our Spitsbergen cruise is much more than a trip: it's a total immersion in one of our planet's last wild sanctuaries. Discover all our polar cruises on our website.
Why choose a cruise to Spitsbergen?
Spitsbergen, the largest island in the Svalbard archipelago between Norway and the North Pole, offers a breathtaking natural spectacle. Here, nature reigns supreme. Far removed from mass tourism, our Spitsbergen cruise is designed for enthusiasts of wide open spaces, unspoiled nature and wildlife observation. We organize these polar expeditions from May to August, the ideal time to explore Spitsbergen's coasts in optimal conditions. The melting ice allows access to remote areas, and the long, nightless days provide unique light for your photography and exploration.
An exclusive cruise with a small group
At Escales Polaires, we put quality before quantity. Our Spitsbergen cruises are designed for a maximum group of 12 passengers, to guarantee an authentic, friendly and deeply human experience. This intimate dimension allows us to personalize each outing, each excursion, and to adapt to each person's pace. Aboard our comfortable expedition boat, you'll be accompanied by our team of passionate Arctic specialists. We'll be there every step of the way to guide you as you discover this exceptional environment. Find out more about our Arctic adventure cruises ?
Immerse yourself in polar wildlife
One of the highlights of your Spitsbergen cruise is undoubtedly your encounter with polar wildlife. Thanks to our respectful approach and perfect knowledge of the terrain, you'll have a great chance of observing some of the Arctic's most emblematic species:
- Polar bears, king of the pack ice
- Walruses, in noisy and impressive colonies
- Bearded and ringed seals
- The Arctic fox, discreet but present
- Svalbard reindeer, perfectly adapted to this extreme climate
- A wide variety of seabirds: guillemots, puffins, kittiwakes, Arctic terns...
- And sometimes, with a bit of luck, whales and narwhals
Each day, we'll take you by zodiac to get as close as possible to the observation zones. Land excursions are also planned to discover Arctic flora, observe animals in their natural habitat and admire the scenery from different angles. Discover our Orcas & Whales cruises ?
Breathtaking scenery
Spitsbergen is a treasure trove for photographers and contemplative types alike. Our Spitsbergen cruise plunges you into a setting of thousand-year-old glaciers, floating pack ice, deep fjords, icebergs sculpted by time, and sheer cliffs inhabited by thousands of birds. Each stop is a surprise: a peaceful bay surrounded by snow-capped mountains, a glacier tongue plunging into the sea, a pebble beach where walruses come to rest... All in an atmosphere of absolute calm, disturbed only by the cracking of ice or the cries of terns.
Tailor-made stays from 10 to 21 days
Our Spitsbergen cruises can be adapted to suit your adventure desires. We offer stays from 10 to 21 days, all modular and customizable. Whether you're looking for a gentle introduction to the polar world, or a more in-depth expedition to the northernmost regions of Svalbard, we'll work with you to create a customized program. Each departure is designed to optimize observation conditions, taking into account weather, ice and safety. Flexibility and responsiveness are an integral part of our approach to polar expeditions.
