10 Nights Ultimate Arctic: Oslo Roundtrip

Type of Vessel

Scenic Eclipse sets the standard in ocean cruising in terms of technology, size and luxury. State-of-the-art safety features allow us to unlock destinations others can only dream of.
Designed to deliver the ultimate experience of a lifetime for only 228 guests, only 200 in the Arctic and Antarctica, Scenic Eclipse takes small luxury cruises to a whole new level - marrying luxury, discovery and safety, and giving guests the opportunity to explore above and beyond what was previously imaginable.

Itinerary

Day 1 | Oslo: Begin in Norway as you fly from Oslo to Longyearbyen where the crew will warmly greet you as you step on board Scenic Eclipse. Settle into your luxuriously appointed suite, try on your custom designed parka, then head to the internal climate controlled change room to be fitted with your boots. Enjoy the rest of the day to acquaint yourself with all the sumptuous facilities of your luxurious Discovery Yacht. Raise your glass this evening to toast the start of your Arctic voyage during the welcome cocktail reception hosted by the Captain who will introduce your expert Discovery Leaders and their team.

Days 2 - 4 | Svalbard Archipelago: The Svalbard archipelago is one of the world's northernmost inhabited areas with rugged glaciers and frozen tundras waiting to be explored. Due to her smaller size, technological capabilities and environmental controls, the Discovery Yacht will take you on an in-depth exploration of this fragile and remote region with minimal impact. The extraordinary nature of this part of the world dictates the flexible sailing schedule. Your experienced Captain and Discovery Leaders will carefully plan each day's activities based on the conditions.

Days 5 - 7 | Svalbard Archipelago: Cruising during the prime time for wildlife spotting, there will be many opportunities to see the dominant predators including the Polar bear, who number as many as 3,000 roaming the sea ice, as well as the Arctic fox and wolf. Marine species abound including the carefully protected walrus with its characteristic tusks and several species of whales. Each day the Discovery Leaders will schedule things so that even when you're on board you'll have plenty to keep you occupied from entertaining presentations to documentaries and more. There will be time for you to relax in your suite, watch the live streaming on your TV from the exterior cameras, and tempt your palate as you explore the extensive range of dining options.

Days 8 - 10 | Svalbard Archipelago: Your crew will navigate close to some of the most beautiful glaciers such as the Monacobreen Glacier on Svalbard and the 14th of July Glacier in northwestern Spitsbergen where one of the most astonishing experiences will be the chance to witness a glacier calving. There will also be the chance to cruise some secluded bays and stunning fjords like Hornsund on the western side of the southernmost tip of Spitsbergen Island as well as spotting the many species of birdlife that are present during the short Arctic summer.

Day 11 | Longyearbyen to Oslo: Your cruise ends this morning as you farewell the crew and disembark after a delicious breakfast to fly back to Oslo, taking away memories of a truly unforgettable experience.
