As you would expect, sailing to the isolated lands of Svalbard with Fred. Olsen offers many scenic cruising opportunities.
We will make diversions to show you sights like the Nordenskiöldbreen Glacier, Tempelfjorden’s Temple Mountain, and Svartisen (the Black Glacier). Balmoral is also small enough to cruise the likes of the Nærøysundet strait, Nordfjord (Meløy) and the ultra-narrow Trollfjord.
In Spitsbergen, you will have the chance to explore the community of Longyearbyen and the abandoned town of Pyramiden, seemingly frozen in time. We have timed this itinerary to allow you to witness the phenomenon of the Midnight Sun as Balmoral crosses the Arctic Circle.
