EXPLORING THE ARCTIC

The Arctic is one of the few places in the world untouched by pollution
where you can see nature at its wildest and most beautiful. Join our ship
the Northern Star from 2 to 18 July, for a 17-day voyage to the Arctic.
During the voyage you are able to relax and get away from it all. There are
no parties or film-shows to attend, quizzes to enter, or entertainers to
watch. However, we do have specialists on board who are willing to
answer any of your questions about the Arctic and who will talk about the
animals and birds that you see on the trip.
After setting off from Scotland, we go north along the coast of Norway to
Bear Island. Along the way you'll see thousands of seabirds and wonderful
scenery, with rivers of ice and huge cliffs. You will have the chance to see
reindeer, polar bears, and other Arctic animals. Although we have a
timetable, experience has shown that we may have to change our direction
a little, depending on the weather and on which animals appear.
The Northern Star is a very special ship and our past voyages have been
very popular. Our cabins all have the same excellent facilities, which
include a private bathroom and refrigerator. Our chefs are happy to

Strona 5 z 12

prepare any food for people on special diets. Choose just what you want
to eat from the wide variety available from the dining room buffet. There
is a library, shop, clinic and plenty of space for relaxation. If you need
some exercise, why not go jogging every morning around the decks, or do
some swimming in the indoor pool.
Prices include economy class air travel and 16 nights on board the
Northern Star, all meals and excursions and all lectures.

Day l

Board the Northern Star.

Days 2-7
We sail slowly north along the coast of Norway, stopping at places of
interest.

Day 8
Tromso. You need to get up at sunrise to see the whales as we sail

towards Tromso. Visit Tromso to see the Arctic Museum, the
cathedral and the beautiful old wooden houses. In the evening
we sail away along the west coast to Bird Island, which is
excellent for bird-watching.

Days 9-10
Bear Island. We arrive here in the early evening and stay overnight. Bear

Island once had an active fishing industry, but today little of
this remains. We will explore the island, looking out for Arctic
flowers.

Days 11-16
Spitsbergen. A place of mountains and rivers of ice, it is home

to a large variety of animals.

Day 17
Leave the ship in Spitsbergen and fly to London from Tromso.
