Stay in comfort at Funken Lodge 

Your adventure begins at the most exclusive address in Longyearbyen: the 5-star Funken Lodge. 

Here, you’ll stay in spacious, beautifully designed rooms featuring soft lighting, plush bedding and views that remind you you’re truly at the edge of the world. 

Mornings begin with Funken Lodge’s renowned breakfast - eggs cooked to your preference, freshly baked pastries, and barista coffee served with beautiful views of Longyearbyen, the mountains and the fjord. Here you can sink into the cosy fireplace corners or unwind in the elegant lobby bar as you watch life in the Arctic unfold outside.

The adventure continues

While in Longyearbyen, you will enjoy your embarkation tour, featuring a visit to the award-winning Svalbard Museum and a stop at Camp Barentz to meet the huskies and savour freshly made Norwegian pancakes.

Once you step aboard MS Serenissima, your suite becomes your private Arctic sanctuary, as your journey to 80° North begins.

Step on board – and into your suite

The Owner’s Suite and Executive Suites offer either a private balcony or a walkway, giving you your own outdoor space to breathe in the crisp Arctic air and watch the landscapes shift around you: glacier fronts, silent fjords, bird cliffs and the open sea, all seen from the very best locations on deck.

The Junior Suites are also an excellent choice for added comfort. These suites are noticeably more spacious than the ship’s standard cabins and enjoy a beautiful placement on Deck 6, offering wide, elevated views

Inside, a special welcome package awaits, filled with Svalbard favourites such as locally brewed beer and artisanal chocolate. Robes and slippers are provided so you can settle into your suite in complete comfort.

Your home at sea

Suites are thoughtfully positioned on the ship to offer: 

  • The very best viewpoints on board 

  • Extra space to relax and unwind 

  • Large windows for panoramic views 

  • A calmer, more private atmosphere away from the busiest areas 

After a day out exploring, slip into your robe, get a cup of something warm from the bar and enjoy your private retreat - whether that’s reading by the window, sipping coffee on your balcony or simply soaking in the quiet beauty of the Arctic.
