Journey to the edge of the world, where mountains plunge into crystal fjords and glaciers gleam beneath the endless summer sun. Here, light lingers long past midnight, washing the tundra in silver, rose, and gold.
This is Svalbard, the crown jewel of the Arctic, where Aqua Lares — the region’s first icebreaker superyacht open to both charter and cabin bookings — takes you deep into one of the planet’s great frontiers. Led by expert naturalist guides, sail through breathtaking Arctic landscapes in search of polar bears roaming the pack ice, walruses basking on remote shores, and colonies of puffins and guillemots filling the cliffs with life. Glide by kayak beneath towering glaciers and head out on zodiacs to trace the icy edges of fjords such as Liefdefjorden and Raudfjord.
The Arctic also bears witness to centuries of exploration and survival. Step ashore at Gravneset, where one of Svalbard’s largest whaling-era cemeteries recalls the dangers of a bygone age, or at Smeerenburg, once a bustling Dutch outpost and now a refuge for wildlife. Every landing weaves together stories of nature’s resilience and human history at the edge of the known world.
