Cruise home in the midnight sun

We then start our journey back to Longyearbyen. Between May and August, you’ll have daylight on your return as the Midnight sun is present. We will serve you a light meal that is included and you can order a drink in our onboard café. It’s the perfect time to sit back and enjoy the stunning landscape, mountains and wildlife around us.
