Fly with SAS to Longyarbyen in Spitsbergen via Oslo and check in to Mary-Ann's Polarrigg for 3 nights.

Days 2-3

Days at leisure. We have a selection of wonderful optional activities on offer or alternatively, we would recommend trying spa treatments in the world's northernmost spa!

Polarrigg's 3 bars and restaurants give you an authentic miners experience through to the Winter Garden where the Arctic meets the Orient! The bar is an atmospheric spot to reflect with fellow guests and enjoy some local entertainment. Through the glass walls and ceiling of the restaurant you can always admire the beautiful landscape surrounding the town. Do not be surprised if you suddenly see a reindeer or arctic fox right outside the window, next to your table or if a covey of grouse flutters up from the ground during dinner from where you are sitting.

Optional excursions include snowmobile safaris (day and evening) and dog sledding. Please contact our team for excursions.

Day 4

Breakfast and checkout and flights home with SAS.
