20 days in one of the last true wildernesses of the world is
quite a sensation. When was the last time you travelled out and saw no other
person other than your small group for more than 10 days?
This is one of the overwhelming emotions that hit you when
you depart to the northern reaches of Svalbard. Here you are on the edge of the
world at the mercy of nature, the ocean and the weather in a small vessel.
Luckily that small vessel is one of the strongest kinds in the archipelago and
can take you almost anywhere.
This is the nature of Svalbard and why we run our voyages
here as "expedition style cruising". We go where we want to,
exploring the many faces of this wonderful land searching for landscapes,
glaciers and of course, polar bears and other wildlife. This was C4's third
trip to Svalbard and once again it did not disappoint. Walruses, foxes, bears
and magical landscapes all were part of the magic that was lit up by the arctic
light.
Svalbard grips you with a polar bug that is hard to shake
off. I will be hosting our 5th voyage to Svalbard in May 2015. Unfortunately
there are other clients who also have the polar bear bug; the voyage is already
sold out with all berths filled.
If you would like to join us on a future voyage to Svalbard
please contact us and we will put you on the wait list for 2016.
