Artic - Tromso to Longyearbyen

Discover the Awe-Inspiring High Arctic – An LDS Group Adventure Like No Other

Imagine a place where the sun never truly sets, where icy glaciers kiss the sea, and the wilderness sings a song of serenity and wonder. Welcome to the breathtaking Arctic realm of Svalbard—a destination reserved for the true adventurer at heart.

Here, the beauty of God’s creations is on full display. Hear the calls of seabirds echoing across fjords, witness whales breaching in the stillness of the Arctic Ocean, and feel your spirit soar as you take in landscapes untouched by time.

Enjoy a magical late-night visit to Skarsvåg, the northernmost fishing village in mainland Europe, where golden light lingers well into the night. Venture to the iconic North Cape, where towering cliffs drop into the endless sea, and reflect on the power and peace of this sacred corner of the world.

Meet the resilient people who call this land home and learn about their enduring traditions in the face of nature’s fiercest elements. In Hammerfest, the world’s northernmost town, step into history at the Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Society—where you’ll even earn your honorary membership!

This isn’t just a journey north—it’s a journey inward. It’s a time to connect with fellow travelers who share your values, to marvel at God’s grandeur, and to create memories that will forever warm your heart, no matter how far north you go.
