Twelve people, one small ship, and the far edge of the map.

Voyage Nord runs small-ship expeditions to Svalbard for people who travel for the company as much as the scenery. Every group is chosen with care, so you sail with people worth sailing with.

Every voyage starts in Longyearbyen, 78°13′N 15°39′E Based in Stockholm

Who you travel with changes everything.

On a big cruise ship you’re one of hundreds. On ours you’re one of twelve. You share every meal, every zodiac ride, and the bridge at two in the morning when someone spots a polar bear on the ice.

That only works when the group works. So instead of a booking button, we meet everyone before they come aboard. The result is a ship full of curious, easy-going people who leave as friends.

  • 12 guestsNever more. Small enough to land where big ships can’t.

Svalbard, our first voyage

We’re planning our first departures aboard a 12-guest expedition ship, sailing out of Longyearbyen for around nine days. Dates, ship and prices go to people on the waitlist first.

  • Your cabin with a private bathroom
  • All meals on board, cooked by the ship’s chef
  • Zodiac landings, ice cruising and shore walks
  • Experienced polar guides and crew
  • A host from Voyage Nord on every voyage

Flights to Longyearbyen and travel insurance are booked separately.

March to May

Spring ice

Snow to the waterline, sea ice still clinging to the fjords, and the light returning after the polar night.

September to October

Autumn light

The first snow on the peaks, long golden evenings, and the season’s first chances of northern lights.
