Svalbard

Our port in Svalbard was one of the biggest reasons we chose this itinerary. Although one day in Longyearbyen certainly wasn't enough to get a feel for the islands, it was a great introduction and a lot of fun! The ship wasn't offering an excursions, and knowing that we would need a polar bear rifle to venture out of town, we booked a kayaking trip through Spitsbergen Travel. Our guide met us at the pier, and we joined a few Danish couples to kayak across Adventfjord to the abandoned mining town of Hjorthamn.
