Svalbard Mammal & Birding Cruise

Birding Ecotours' Svalbard cruise departs from Longyearbyen and explores the fjords and bird cliffs of Spitsbergen aboard an ice-strengthened expedition vessel. The voyage targets high-Arctic seabirds including Little Auk, Brünnich's Guillemot, Atlantic Puffin, Black Guillemot, Northern Fulmar, Black-legged Kittiwake, and the spectacular Ivory Gull in its High Arctic stronghold. Polar Bears, Walrus, Bearded Seals, and Arctic Fox are regularly encountered alongside tens of thousands of breeding seabirds at towering bird cliffs. The expert-led itinerary covers Nordvest-Spitsbergen, Liefdefjorden, and the polar ice edge — some of the most wildlife-rich waters in the Arctic.
