Tour Overview

Explore northerly Svalbard under the midnight sun on this exciting five-night small group tour.

Make Longyearbyen your base as you head out on incredible outdoor activities, from dog sledding on a glacier to electric biking through the town and the wilderness.

In the summer, quad bikes replace snowmobiles and a kayaking trip on the Adventfjord offers a spectacular vantage point from which to take in the Arctic landscape. 

Throughout, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife like Arctic foxes (or maybe even a polar bear), learn about the rich history of the area, and enjoy the strange golden hours that replace the dark of night as the midnight sun lingers above the horizon.

Itinerary

Day 1

Today, fly from London to Longyearbyen, the main city on the island of Spitsbergen, in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. Welcome to the most northerly town in the world! Upon arrival, you will be transferred to the Coal Miners' Cabin to check in for your 5-night stay.



Day 2

Your Svalbard adventure takes off at a running start with an exciting morning of dog sledding. When the snow has melted in the valley, it is still possible to engage in this traditional activity up on the Foxfonna Glacier. As an added bonus, the views over the Isfjord, Ardent Valley and the mountains surrounding the area are fantastic! After lunch, trade the sled in for wheels - 2 of them to be exact - as you explore Lonyearbyen's sights from an electric bike. The trail starts in Longyearbyen and heads out towards the beautiful Advent Valley which is teeming with birdlife during the summer months. Learn about the rich coal mining history of the area as you explore the area. (B,L)



Day 3

Delve into the history of Longyearbyen with guided visits to the Svalbard Museum and Galleri Svalbard. Learn about the discovery of Spitsbergen and about Longyearbyen, including its wildlife, mining and hunting history. In the afternoon, take to the seas in an environmentally friendly, hybrid catamaran on an exciting trip to the Russian owned mining settlement of Barentsburg. A visit to Barentsburg is fascinating and it is a really unique experience to be able to combine the untouched nature of Norway with Russian culture all in one day. Upon arrival back in Longyearben, sample some of the world’s most northerly brewed beer during at a tasting session at the Svalbard Brewery. (B,D)



Day 4

After breakfast, embark on an exhilarating quad bike safari through the summery Arctic landscapes. It's not uncommon to see wildlife as you ride under the midnight sun which brings out many species of birds, deer and foxes. Head out from Longyearbyen and drive into the Adventdalen and then into the beautiful Endalen and up the winding road to Breinosa, where Mine 7 is located. After a 2-course lunch there is a few hours of leisure time before utilising the midnight sun to enjoy on an evening kayaking trip on the Adventfjord. (B,L)



Day 5

Power through the majestic fjords of Spitsbergen and marvel at the mighty Tuna and von Post glaciers as they grow from a tiny white-blue line to a towering wall of sparkling ice on this exciting boat trip that takes you deep into the Tempelfjorden, past teeming bird cliffs and towering mountains. Icebergs fill the fjord and there will be plenty of time to study these icy blue formations while looking out for seals and other Arctic wildlife. Go ashore at a historical hunting area and enjoy an expedition lunch with magical views over the fjord. The remainder of the afternoon is free until it is time to celebrate your incredible holiday with a farewell dinner. (B,L,D)



Day 6
After breakfast it is time to bid farewell to the Arctic and transfer to the Airport for your flight home. (B)

Very impressed so far with...

05-Mar-2025

Very impressed so far with our first experience with Regent. We were looking for a specific type of Norwegian fjord cruise and having tried a couple of other companies we contacted Regent and spoke to the wonderfully helpful and friendly Joanne Wheeler. She quickly understood our holiday and tight date requirements and wasted no time in getting an itinerary out to us. The size of ship, destinations and choice of excursions was just what we were looking for. Joanne and her colleague Rebecca have been super efficient in taking our booking and answering any queries we have raised. We are so impressed with the service we have received and feeling relaxed that we are going to enjoy an amazing holiday. We will post another review on our return in June.

05-Mar-2025

We have used ITC for many years to plan exceptional holiday. When we decided to go to Iceland our ITC agent, Nick Upperton, told us that Regent Holidays were part of the same group and that he would get them to contact me. Almost immediately Emma Brown from Regent was in touch and after hearing our initial thoughts for the holiday she put together a fabulous itinerary including ideal local flights, a great hotel and some amazing tours. We had fantastic time in Iceland it was timed to perfection and was so straightforward and ideal for us. Thank you Emma for your friendly and professional approach and your in depth knowledge of the country, you certainly know your business. Once again we have wonderful memories from using this brilliant company.

In mid October 2023 I embarked on an epic two week trip to Central Asia and the Caucasus with Regent Holidays taking in a whistle stop tour that included Kazakhstan (Almaty), Tajikistan (Dushanbe), Uzbekistan (Tashkent and Samarkand), Kyrgyzstan (Bishkek), Azerbaijan (Baku), Georgia (Tbilisi) and, very briefly, Armenia! From the point where the trip was booked in the Spring of 2023 to the final flight home the support offered by Regent Holidays was exemplary.

04-Mar-2025

Regent are professional and knowledgeable about the places you visit with them in their small group tours. The small groups are excellent for getting to know your fellow travellers and the Regent personnel. Regent are always helpful and willing to spend time with the individual to discuss their queries. Their people are experienced and familiar with the countries which are their speciality and they are more than happy to share that experience with you. Would highly recommend Regent.

We thoroughly enjoyed out holiday...

20-Nov-2023

We thoroughly enjoyed out holiday in Transylvania on the Halloween Group Tour. Our guide/driver Vlad was excellent, so knowledgable about all aspects of our tour. A definite highlight was his suggested trip on the Transgfagarasan Highway, a glorious drive through autumnal coloured forests where we saw brown bears. Vlad had thought to bring apples to feed them from the mini van! All the hotels were excellent and we got to try so many traditional dishes. Regent's organisation was very efficient. Our only complaint would be that BA cancelled our flight, changing us onto a late evening arrival. But Vlad came up trumps, giving us a midnight tour of Bucharest so we didn't miss out. We enjoyed the Halloween aspects and luckily didn't get to meet Dracula! We would recommend this very special holiday

Memorable holidays mainly in Central Asia. Air travel, hotels and ground arrangements all work out perfectly and never had any problems. Special thanks to Carl Meadows for all the hard work converting our plans into truly wonderful experiences.

19-Jan-2024

Not entirely as advertised. Our flights did not match supplied itinerary. Our journey home was split in to three flights not the two listed on itinerary. My luggage was lost on one flight and then on the flight back to London my son’s baggage was lost. I contacted Regent to explain loss and didn’t even receive a courtesy reply to check how we were. I also feel we received no advice on our destination. On arrival it was explained to us that it would be dark 24/7 during our stay. We paid for superior rooms in Tromso and Longyearbyen and I requested rooms with a view. We were sorely disappointed with both hotels. Both rooms were very small with no view and nowhere to lay our suitcase. On the positive side both hotels did provide tea making facilities in the room. Arrived home two days ago and have still not heard from Regent regarding our lost luggage. I would assume they might offer some help with the claims process but obviously not.

07-Sep-2023

A very disappointing experience from a supposed ‘specialist’ tailor made tour operator. This is a completely false claim. Our Norway trip was almost destroyed by Regent’s lack of knowledge and advice and their lack of care when they had messed things up was extraordinary. Do it yourself or find someone else is my advice.
