Arctic Solar Eclipse - Franz Joseph Land

It's over a year now since we began turning people away who wanted to go up to Spitsbergen to witness the solar eclipse. The ships were full. Conceive my delight, therefore, when I got an email from Moscow informing me that our friends at Poseidon Arctic Voyages have announced a special voyage on board the m/s Polaris.

The holiday starts and finishes in Longyearbyen (Spitsbergen) but the eclipse itself will be viewed from a position near Franz Joseph Land and there will be an opportunity to explore this remote and exciting destination with its magical flora and fauna. There aren't many cabins available and we have to release our allocation by the end of January so, if you're interested, get in touch quick!

The eleven day voyage starts in Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen, on 29th July 2008. Prices vary according to cabin grade - please contact us for details.
