MEET WILDLIFE WITH A LEGENDARY PHOTOGRAPHER

Begin your adventure in Svalbard, the northernmost archipelago on Earth and the starting point for many expeditions to the North Pole. Sail through the heart of untouched wilderness: a scientific haven that is as much a no-man’s-land as it is a land for all due to its extreme conditions. Prepare to encounter polar bears, walruses, reindeers, seals and arctic foxes during this season when the sun never sets along with our North Star Amos Nachoum.

AMOS NACHOUM

Follow our north star

On this departure, you’ll be joined by legendary wildlife photographer Amos Nachoum.

For over 40 years, Amos has explored the world’s wildest places, pioneering extraordinary encounters with some of the planet’s most iconic animals. Through inspiring talks, photography masterclasses, and countless informal moments throughout the journey, he’ll share the art of observing wildlife.

A rare opportunity to experience Svalbard alongside one of the greatest storytellers of our time.
