ExcellentGoodOff-season

Excellent, peak season (Jun – Aug)

Midnight sun and retreating ice: polar bears, walrus, reindeer and tundra flowers on Svalbard and Greenland landings.

Good, shoulder season (May & Sep)

Off-season (Oct – Apr)

Polar night and pack ice; no expedition cruises.

Typical patterns for planning shore excursions; weather varies year to year and is never guaranteed.
