The Svalbard Express: Longyearbyen to Bergen Aboard the Trollfjord
11–22 September 2024 · Norway · The Arctic & Svalbard
Trollfjord · Hurtigruten
Eleven days from Oslo to Longyearbyen and then the full length of the Norwegian coast to Bergen aboard Hurtigruten's Trollfjord. A polar bear at a glacier before we even boarded, a walrus, reindeer at Ny-Ålesund, and more rainbows than we could photograph. Working ports rather than tourist stops, and the transition from high Arctic to temperate over a single voyage.
