We're in the news, and no...no polar bears were killed!

During one of our exclusive Svalbard expeditions with Chris Morgan Wildlife we had the pleasure of hosting Annabel Heseltine who has shared her experience on this trip in the Telegraph.

A voyage to the far north of the planet delivers plenty of memorable experiences, from wallowing walruses to extraordinary scenery

Some may not consider Iceland part of the "Arctic" but we certainly do, and it is often included as part of an Arctic itinerary, before or after a visit to Greenland. Siglufjörður on the north coast of Iceland is one of our favourite villages, have you been?

What are landings like?

A Zodiac landing might be onto an easy, gravel beach, or you might be stepping out onto a snow bank, or slippery boulders, or slabs of granite rock. No matter the conditions, there will always be plenty of extra hands to help you should you need it!

Several operators start their Arctic season with a trip through the Norwegian Fjords, finishing up with a day or two in Svalbard. If you have the time, it's a fantastic idea to pair a Norwegian Fjords cruise with an additional cruise in Svalbard. Norway has so much to offer!

Our Story

Twin Tracks is a Canadian-based boutique polar cruise agency for discerning travellers who are looking for the adventure of expeditioning without the big cruise ship feel. What makes us different? All of us at Twin Tracks work on the ships that we represent. We know the ships, the operating companies, the itineraries, and the regions inside and out. It doesn't get much more "insider" than that. Twin Tracks Expeditions is the brainchild of twin brothers Rickard and David Berg, both long time polar guides and expedition leaders. Rooted in a deep love of our earth's coldest regions, Twin Tracks was born to serve as one more way that Rickard and David can help connect intrepid travellers with the breathtaking polar experiences they've come to know and love.
