Leica Photo Adventure to Svalbard

Join us for an extraordinary 10-day photography expedition to Svalbard next summer! We’ve partnered with Secret Atlas to explore the remote Arctic wilderness of Spitsbergen under the mesmerizing glow of the Midnight Sun. Each day brings a new adventure—witness towering glaciers calving into the sea, encounter incredible Arctic wildlife, and visit historic sites that tell the region’s fascinating story.

A photography tour in Svalbard is an immersive experience where every moment presents a new opportunity to capture the Arctic’s breathtaking beauty. From the deck of our expedition vessel, the MV Vikingfjord, you’ll photograph these dramatic landscapes bathed in the golden glow of the Midnight Sun. As we navigate fjords and frozen coastlines, you’ll have the chance to frame stunning compositions of towering glaciers, sculpted icebergs, and mirror-like waters reflecting the endless Arctic sky. Encounters with wildlife—polar bears patrolling the ice, walruses lounging on drifting floes, and seabirds soaring overhead—offer once-in-a-lifetime shots, while Zodiac excursions bring you up close to the raw, untamed wilderness. Whether capturing the intricate textures of ancient ice or the fleeting moment of a fox moving through the tundra, Svalbard is a paradise for photographers seeking both grandeur and intimacy in their images.

Guided by two expert leaders and supported by a dedicated and experienced crew, this exclusive journey welcomes just 12 guests and includes the expertise of two Leica Specialists (Peter Dooling & Michael Turek), ensuring an unparalleled photography experience.

*Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but our guides and captain will put us in the best possible position to find them.

The MV Vikingfjord is the most environmentally friendly small expedition vessel in the Arctic with new systems creating a 95% reduction in NOX emissions and increased efficiency. Rebuilt from the ground up around the guest experience, Vikingfjord offers a new level of comfort with en suite cabins, an open plan panoramic lounge and restaurant, on deck sauna and hot pool with a view, a large mud room and ample equipment storage. It features a presentation TV, a mini bar, and a hot beverage service for all guests.



Designed to deliver an outstanding expedition experience, Vikingfjord has an ice strengthened hull for navigating the pack ice and is equipped with 2 zodiacs for exploring.
