Trip to arctic was awesome and exceede our expectations. Great crew and food. Saw 5 polar bears and was prepared not to see any since this can be hit and miss. Highly recommend

This was our 2nd time traveling with Poseidon and we love the ship and the expedition team and crew. The small size allows for maximum flexibility. Great food, lots of activities and friendly, knowledgeable crew and expedition team. The cabins are bigger than standard cruise ship rooms, with lots of drawers and storage.

Our trip to Svalbard and the Arctic was surreal. There have been few trips in my life where I have been in awe so often. The views and sheer scale of the scenery was breathtaking- I think Svalbard should be on everybody’s bucket list. Don’t wait for retirement- do it now!! The expedition team on Sea Spirit was professional, friendly and very well organised. Their shared knowledge was phenomenal and they generously shared their experiences, thoughts and knowledge. The bar and restaurant staff were polite and helpful and very much on the ball. The food was to a high standard with lots of variety. Drinks for a cruise were actually pretty reasonable. The ship was nicely appointed and the room spacious. Lots of outside space to view wildlife and the scenery. The bar and hot tub were great spots after a long day of excursions. Highlights for me: - Lillihookbreen glacier - Seeing Walrus in Smeerenberg - Of course our polar bear sighting (although very far away) - Hiking Liefdefjorden and sliding down the snow to Texas bar - polar plunge (a once in a life time opportunity!) - seeing a blue whale while in the hot tub As with any adventure there are frustrations and inconveniences, especially when there are so many moving parts, but this did not distract from the overall experience and I don’t believe any company would be immune to this especially given the COVID situation.

This was my second experience with Poseidon Expeditions and I enjoyed every moment of my Arctic adventure.

Amazing Artic Expedition in Svalbard, Norway. I am a seasoned traveler but had never done this type of expedition. Although I didn't get to experience and up close and personal polar bear sighting I dreamed of, I did get to see 4 polar bears from a distance. The scenery was breathtaking. The ship staff and the expedition staff were top notch. I loved the trip so much, I am making arrangements to travel to Antarctica with them.

The expedition itinerary was well planned to view various history areas, magnificent scenery, & native animals. The guides were enthusiastic & well informed to teach us about Svalbard! And the staff did their respective jobs so well in order that we could enjoy our time on the Sea Spirit! Our accommodations were very roomy with lots of storage space & areas to move around without feeling crowded! I would highly recommend this expedition to anyone, because it is a remote area & not many people know about it or have ever visited the area!

This was an excellent trip. It was well planned the staff was helpful from the expedition crew to the housekeeping staff. The food was fine but not exceptional. Our weather was beautiful and we had a wonderful experience. But definitely recommend it

It was a really great experience for us.
