Good to know

Suitable for all physical fitness levels
Due to local weather conditions, there may be excursions to Barentsburg and Pyramiden where our boat is unable to dock. In such cases, the tour will instead focus on wildlife and the stunning Arctic nature — for example, a visit to Nordenskjöld or the Esmark Glaciers.
