We have can­cel­led all trips this year – now it is time to make new, fresh plans. For the arc­tic sum­mer sea­son 2021, we have sche­du­led one addi­tio­nal depar­tu­re with SY Arc­ti­ca II.

Of cour­se we can’t pre­dict the future, but con­side­ring the various news about vac­ci­nes we think we can be opti­mi­stic. After our tra­di­tio­nal, long Spits­ber­gen voya­ge with Arc­ti­ca II in August, the­re will be one more trip with this love­ly litt­le sai­ling ship,starting 28 August and finis­hing on 05 Sep­tem­ber.

Arc­ti­ca II on the west coast of Spits­ber­gen: addi­tio­nal depar­tu­re in 2021.

Due to all the can­cel­la­ti­ons of the 2020 sea­son, the­re is a lot of inte­rest in upco­ming trips, so now we can offer 9 addi­tio­nal places and defi­ni­te­ly a uni­que and inten­se expe­ri­ence.

This depar­tu­re will be Ger­man spea­king. The detail­ed descrip­ti­on of the voya­ge inclu­ding the pri­ce will fol­low soon, and then it will also be pos­si­ble to make reser­va­tions. For fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on or reser­va­tions, plea­se don’t hesi­ta­te to get in touch with my col­le­ague Uwe Maaß in the office of the Geo­gra­phi­schen Rei­se­ge­sell­schaft or with me if you have any ques­ti­ons about the trip, the itin­era­ry or the ship etc.

Plea­se click here for fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on about Arc­ti­ca II Ger­man. And have a look at the tri­plogs and pho­to gal­le­ries from the voy­a­ges that we have done in the past to get a good idea of how they are going and what might hap­pen. This trip will be shorter than the long trip in August, so we don’t plan to cir­cum­na­vi­ga­te Spits­ber­gen. The focus will be on hiking and natu­re expe­ri­ence in the major fjord sys­tems on the west coast of Spits­ber­gen, such as Isfjord, Bell­sund, For­lands­und and Kongsfjord. The hikes will, in avera­ge, be lon­ger than tho­se that we usual­ly do, for exam­p­le, on Anti­gua. Plea­se have a look at my page about arc­tic ter­rain (Ger­man) to get an idea of the con­di­ti­ons we will meet out in the field.
