Arctic Tern Expeditions Svalbard Voyage Aboard RV Kinfish
Arctic Tern Expeditions’ 10-day Svalbard voyage aboard the R/V Kinfish is built for travelers who want the Arctic unfiltered, not prepackaged. Limited to just 12 guests, this Svalbard Expedition R/V Kinfish sails without a fixed daily route, moving through Svalbard’s raw polar waters with the rare freedom to follow the conditions. The ship began life as a Norwegian research vessel and now carries that capable DNA into expedition travel, with a converted build and an ice-strengthened hull designed for serious northern latitude work. Each day can shift with weather, sea ice, wildlife movement, and polar bear sightings, giving the voyage a purposeful sense of discovery.
On board, the experience pairs expedition grit with polished comfort. Multi-level viewing decks keep the Arctic close from multiple angles, while dual Zodiacs allow the team to move quickly when landing conditions open or wildlife encounters demand a closer, responsible approach. Newly refurbished en-suite cabins add privacy and warmth after long hours in the elements. The voyage runs 10 days, with rates starting at $12,995 per person and target departures set for August 24 and September 2, 2027. Check out the full details at Arctic Tern Expeditions.
