Speedboat to Billefjorden and Nordenskiöld Glacier

This is a speedboat excursion from Longyearbyen into the northern part of Isfjord and Billefjord. The boat leaves Adventfjord, heads northeast and crosses Sassenfjord, then stops at Skansbukta, a small bay in Billefjord with mountains, glacial valleys and cultural heritage from past centuries. It continues along the coast and goes close to the front of Nordenski öld Glacier. Guests look for wildlife on the way. Poli Arctici's page lists whales, walrus, seals and occasionally polar bears, and says millions of birds live on Svalbard in the polar summer.

The operator's page says a view over Pyramiden, the Soviet mining town abandoned in 1998, was part of the route. A note states that, because of the war in Ukraine, a visit to Pyramiden, which is run by a Russian state company, is not included in the itinerary.

The tour lasts seven hours and departs at 08:30. The boat is called Stefi. It has a partly enclosed cabin, with six seats in a heated cockpit area and six outside seats. There is no toilet onboard. Groups have a minimum of four and a maximum of 12 guests. The tour runs from June to September, and guests must be 8 to 70 years old.

Included: a guide, lunch, snacks, hot drinks, a thermal suit, rescue insurance, emergency and safety equipment, fuel, and transfers between the guest's accommodation and the boat. Personal travel insurance is not included. Required clothing is base layers, thick socks, an insulating mid-layer, a warm hat and warm mittens or gloves. Waterproof boots above the ankle, a camera with a waterproof case, sunglasses, sunscreen and seasickness medication are recommended.
