The cosy atmosphere creates a tranquil base to relax in after an intense day outdoors.

Enjoy a cocktail from Funken Bar and let your thoughts wander to polar adventures and expeditions. All of the rooms have a contemporary design, and our friendly staff will ensure you a perfect stay.

Join an exciting and more environmentally friendly boat trip with our new hybrid vessel MS Bard. This catamaran allows you the get close to nature, whilst enjoying the comfortable and modern design of the boat.

The summer is the season to experience Svalbard by boat. This trip takes you through magnificent fjord landscapes, to Billefjorden and the glacier Nordenskiöldbreen. From June, the landscapes change color, from snow white and muted tones to contrasting shades of green and yellow. With a little luck, wildlife appears along the way, such as reindeer, seals, whales and - with some extra luck - polar bears. We sail past cultural monuments and historical sites, and our guides ensure an unforgettable experience for all senses.
