SeaDream's Grand Arctic Circle

GRAND ARCTIC CIRCLE Land of the Polar Bears Located at the top of the world and a must on many bucket lists, the Svalbard archipelago is Europe's last wilderness where polar bears outnumber people. SeaDream Innovation will circumnavigate these islands, where you will have the chance to see spectacular rugged landscapes of fjords, glaciers and an abundance of arctic fauna including whales, artic foxes, walrus, reindeer, millions of nesting birds and of course, polar bears. SeaDream Innovation with its state-of-the-art hybrid engine can operate for up to three hours without noise or emissions, allowing you to get up close and personal with sensitive areas such as fjords or the ice border without disturbing the wildlife. Working with renowned researchers and experts such as Paul Rose and Inge Solheim, SeaDream will provide a unique environmentally friendly exploration experience. For an invigorating adventure, kayak among small chunks of ice floating offshore or hike through Svalbard's lunar-like landscapes, perhaps ascending to Plateau Mountain for superlative views or trekking to the critically important Global Seed Vault, a repository for Earth's plant life. Learn the exhilarating tales of intrepid explorers at the North Pole Expedition Museum, where exhibits shed light on some of history's most daring voyages. LET'S GO As the island of Spitsbergen's longest fjord and the second longest in all of Svalbard, Isfjorden offers ample opportunities for thrilling exploration. To the north, the frozen mountains of the Nordre Isfjorden National Park give birth to massive glaciers that meander into the fjord. LET'S GO Slicing into the southern tip of Spitsbergen Island, Hornsund is treasured as one Svalbard's most beautiful fjords. Its somewhat misleading name derives from a set of reindeer antlers found by explorers in the 17th century, as well as the belief that it cut through to the other side of Spitsbergen, which would have made it a sund, or sound. LET'S GO THE SEADREAM DIFFERENCE Raw & Living Menu SeaDream Yacht Club introduced the first of its kind at sea, a "Raw Food" menu option. A once-radical form of vegetarianism called the "raw foods" or "living foods" the wellness movement is creeping into mainstream. LET'S GO
