How do you get to Svalbard?

At the moment there are currently only flights to Svalbard from Norway, so getting to Svalbard requires to go to Oslo before flying to Longyearbyen. There is usually one or two flights to Svalbard per day.

  • Planning the trip by days with a personalized itinerary.
  • Booking all hotels in Svalbard.
  • Booking ferries within Svalbard from Longyearbyen to Pyrmayden, Brentsburg, and Ny Ålesund.
  • Booking all attractions and activities in Svalbard.
  • Recommendations for restaurants and bars in Svalbard.
  • Recommendations for appropriate clothing in Svalbard.

In our opinion, the ideal duration for a trip to Svalbard is at least six days. This allows you to explore most of the island and experience many of the attractions it offers. It is possible to extend or shorten the trip by several days to tailor it to your personal needs.

You can visit Svalbard all year round. There is a fundamental difference between the type of trip in the summer season and the winter season. A trip during the summer offers the possibility of taking a ferry ride to all parts of the island, trekking, and, of course, daylight throughout the whole day. A trip in the winter offers views of the northern lights, winter activities such as snowmobiling and dog sledding, and also lower costs.

As accommodation is usually completely full in Svalbard during the summer season, we would recommend booking the trip as soon as possible, and at least six months before arrival to secure your place on the island for the upcoming season.

The best time to see the northern lights is during the winter season, usually between the beginning of October and the end of February. Since it is dark in Svalbard almost all days in the winter, the chance of seeing the northern lights is one of the highest in the world.

On a private trip you will have a local guide with you throughout your time in Svalbard. They will travel with you to all the locations, so that you will have someone local with you for the entire trip, who will be able to add value to the experience in Svalbard.
