Testimonials:

Hi! The cruise around Iceland was everything I hoped it would be. On board Ocean Atlantic we felt safe and very comfortable. This trip gave us unforgettable experiences about Icelands wildelife, fantastic landscapes, small towns, local culture and history. The organization on the ship , excursions to the mainland and with Zodiac boats were superb. Thanks for everything. We had so much fun and learned so much during this cruise. Best, Tracy Hopes

Itinerary:

Enjoy the immense beauty of Svalbard on this high Arctic adventure cruise among whales, walruses, polar bears and millions of sea birds. The goal of this Albatros expedition is to cruise as close as possible to the pack ice north of Svalbard, the polar bear´s favorite summer residence. How far north
we reach and the exact route up here will depend on the ice conditions, while the many amazing locations along the west coast of Svalbard for sure are kept navigable by the warm Gulf Stream. Depending on how far north we reach we can add some extraordinary locations south of Longyearbyen like Bellsund and Hornsund to the program. Along the way, we’ll visit national parks and cozy little towns, stand on the polar circle, enter the black lava sand and learn about the Icelandic sagas, an intrinsic part of the Icelanders identity.
