SIGNATURE EXPEDITIONS
We want to share with you the beauty of our natural world. Those unique moments in life, when place and time become irrelevant. Whether that is through witnessing the dramatic scenery of a hidden fjord, close-up encounter with wildlife in its natural environment or a simple glass of wine with friends or soon-to-be friends in a comfortable and relaxed environment on board. This is what inspired the name of our travel company, the variety of experiences, True Moments that are best explained by experience through our Signature Expeditions.
Fire to Frost
29th Aug - 7th Sep 2025

Join us on an unforgettable journey aboard the R/V Kinfish through the Svalbard archipelago, a spectacular Polar landscape of icebergs, fjords and unspoiled Arctic wilderness. Midway between Norway and the North Pole, dramatic icy landscapes, magnificent glaciers and an incredible variety of wildlife inhabiting the tundra are the order of the day.
Autumn brings a special stillness to Svalbard. As the larger ships retreat for the season, a magical feel settles over the landscape. This is the perfect time to explore — polar bears, Arctic fox, and reindeer all continue to roam the tundra. Polar bears also appear in the pack ice in the north. Migratory birds start to depart, but many still remain through the autumn months.
Photographers are especially drawn to this season. With the return of sunsets after a summer of midnight sun, the skies glow with rich tones of orange and red — a stunning backdrop for capturing the raw, untouched beauty of the Arctic.

Svalbard
Join us on an unforgettable journey aboard the R/V Kinfish through the Svalbard archipelago, a spectacular Polar landscape of icebergs, fjords and unspoiled Arctic wilderness. Midway between Norway and the North Pole, dramatic icy landscapes, magnificent glaciers and an incredible variety of wildlife inhabiting the tundra are the order of the day.
In April, Svalbard is only just beginning to stir from the long winter months meaning picture-perfect landscapes of snow-covered mountains and lots of drifting sea ice. Polar bears have more sea ice on which to hunt for seals, walrus may be spotted resting on ice floes, and early-season sightings of beluga whales are possible as they navigate the ice edges. Discover the Arctic as it begins to awaken — wild, still, and overwhelmingly beautiful.

WHY

?
It goes without saying that R/V Kinfish is one unique ship with outstanding manoeuvrability and an excellent layout for expedition cruising in the Arctic and beyond. However, we think that what really sets us apart and what are our greatest strengths are two things - the experience onboard, and the boutique company size also involving the owners and management in the day-to-day operation.

We are passionate about the Arctic wilderness and creating special memories - whether that is through witnessing the dramatic scenery of a hidden fjord, an encounter with wildlife in its natural environment or a simple glass of wine with friends made onboard. We know travel is more than seeing and doing, it’s about the vibe, the feeling derived from those special moments our destinations so humbly offer, leaving memories to last a lifetime. Our crew is your key to those experiences and this is why we put so much focus into having the right team.
For a great experience, the details matter. We cover all aspects of your expedition from start to finish - we own and operate the ship, we source the staff including your expedition guides, and we guide you through the booking process, answering any queries and being on hand before travelling to make sure you are well prepared and get the most out of your expedition.
For us, guests and crew are all equally part of the adventure, and this is central to our ethos. This is without doubt one of our strengths that makes a great experience even better. Founded from a passion for our incredible natural world, and grounded in our team who have service at the heart of what we do, we invite you to share True Moments with us!


OUR MAIN DESTINATIONS
Svalbard
Raw wilderness meets pristine beauty at the edge of the world. Midway between Norway and the North Pole, the Svalbard archipelago is a spectacular Polar landscape of icebergs, fjords and unspoiled Arctic wilderness. 60% of its land is covered in ice, with over 2,000 glaciers of varying sizes.
It is Europe’s largest wilderness, a collection of islands within Norway that are closer to the North Pole than they are to the capital city of Oslo. Dramatic icy landscapes, magnificent glaciers and an incredible variety of wildlife inhabiting the tundra are the order of the day.
An expedition onboard R/V Kinfish focuses on exploring Svalbard in search of Arctic flora and fauna, as well as its rich history. From polar bears and Arctic foxes to walruses and migratory seabirds, the wildlife is as captivating as the High Arctic landscapes they inhabit.
