Ski and Sail to the Polar Bears’ Land

In May, skiing conditions in Svalbard are in their prime, and with the Arctic spring blooming, set sail for untouched snow, midnight sun skiing, and unique ski touring. Up to 1000-meter-tall mountains seem to rise straight out of the sea, giving you a glorious playground of alpine scenery. This is skiing without boundaries in the pure white snow, where the tracks you come across are not from other skiers but rather from Svalbard’s wildlife.

The days are long, and the team on board Linden may run one to three ski excursions a day. After a solid breakfast, you’ll go ashore and start skiing straight from the beach, where you’ll have the chance to ski tour 6-700 meter tall peaks amongst surging glaciers plummeting down and into the ocean, this is Svalbard – more than 60% of the ground is covered by ice.

On most days you’ll have a warm lunch packed and spend the whole day outdoors in the Arctic wilderness to get the most out of extraordinary conditions and landscape. On other days you’ll have lunch on board when the ship sails to new peaks with virgin snow. You can enjoy the sauna, après-ski drinks and a three course dinner on Linden, surrounded by a frozen landscape but in warm comfort!
