Silversea Cruises | Expedition Cruising Svalbard with Chris Srigley Aboard Silversea Expeditions

A General Naturalist aboard Silversea Expeditions, Chris Srigley passes along his passion for one of world's most remove regions -- the Svalbard archipelago. Located roughly halfway between Norway's North Cape and the North Pole, and spanning approximately 60,000 square kilometres, Svalbard offers vistas of amazing beauty. Since the end of whaling industry, wildlife species like the iconic walrus are once again reclaiming the land. The region is also home to hundreds of thousands of seabirds. You must witness for yourself the spectacle of a sky darkened by a flapping cloud of squawking birds to truly appreciate the magnificence of these numbers.

Join Chris out on deck as Silversea Expeditions guests sail past 80 degrees north into the realm of the polar bear. The first sighting of voyage is a thrill you will not soon forget. Scan the horizon for this elusive King of the Arctic that is always on the move, searching for its next meal is a task that takes perseverance and patience, and only authentic expedition vessel like Silversea's with its ice-strengthened hull and experienced Captain can cover such wide expanses in such a remote frozen sea. Silversea Expeditions offers Arctic expeditions that cruise and explore the Svalbard archipelago in luxurious style with seasonal departures from Longyearbyen and Tromso.
