Arrive in Oslo at any time and check into your hotel. The rest of the afternoon is free for you to do as you please before resting up for your journey the next day.
Wake up early this morning to catch your charter flight from Oslo to Longyearbyen; transportation from your hotel to the airport is provided.
Longyearbyen is located in a picturesque valley by the shores of Adventfjord, surrounded by steep mountains and several glaciers. The village has only about 25 miles of roads and is divided into several neighborhoods, including the town center and Nybyen (New Town). Nybyen consists of charming miners' barracks built after the war, guest houses, a restaurant, a gallery, and beautiful views of the landmark Hiorthfjellet. Don't miss the chance to visit the Svalbard Museum, which provides a break from the numerous activities such as summer dogsledding or cruises to the abandoned Russian city of Pyramiden.
Even in one of the most isolated regions of the Arctic, there is still the captivating history of a pioneering past. Your expedition leaders, Captain, and the onboard pilot will determine possible landings each day for all-out explorations. Wildlife abounds throughout the archipelago of Svalbard, including puffins, reindeer, Arctic terns, and foxes. An expert photographer will help you look out for the perfect photo opportunity of these animals, but especially for the elusive polar bear. As Zodiac cruises may bring you closer to glaciers, keep your eyes on the water for whale fins.
CAPTAIN’S CHOICE — Your Captain will expertly navigate ice floes, icebergs, and changing sea and weather conditions to ensure you experience the most from your expedition. Each day is a new adventure filled with spontaneous exploration as your Captain works with your expedition team to determine possible shore landings and Zodiac safaris. All itinerary routes serve as examples and are subject to change based on current conditions, prioritizing the safety and optimal expedition experience for all guests.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
kevin Moore, our agent, is very knowledgeable about the tours and details, and researches quickly any follow up ?s.
