Polar Bears, Northern Lights, and Bragging Rights—Oh My!

Are you ready to check off the ultimate bucket-list adventure? Let’s be honest—anyone can say they’ve been to Europe. But how many people can casually drop “Oh, when I was in Svalbard watching polar bears hunt on the ice…” into a dinner conversation? That’s next-level vacation cred.

On this voyage, you’ll sail past the Arctic Circle (yes, way past the land of reindeer and Santa), straight into landscapes that look like they belong in a sci-fi movie—towering icebergs, remote fjords, and maybe even the northern lights if conditions play nice.

And don’t worry, you won’t be left to wander with a compass and a polar bear guidebook. You’ll be traveling in comfort aboard an Aurora Expeditions small ship, with none other than Suzanne and Steve Klasen as your hosts. Think cozy cabins, gourmet meals, and expert guides who make sure you know your puffins from your guillemots. Between Zodiac boat rides, wildlife spotting, and fascinating onboard lectures, you’ll go from “Arctic rookie” to “polar pro” in no time.

Mark your calendar: June 24, 2027. That’s when this once-in-a-lifetime journey begins—an adventure filled with northern lights, Arctic wildlife, and enough storytelling material to keep you the star of every party for years to come.
