When to take your Svalbard cruise

The difference between seasons in Svalbard is night and day, literally.

In the sunny winter (March–mid-may), Svalbard is a frozen fairytale; in the polar summer (mid-May–September), when the midnight sun doesn’t set, its iconic wildlife wakes up; when the sun finally goes down again in the northern lights winter (October–February), the aurora borealis lights up this magical archipelago.
