Gane and Marshall has a seven-day cruise where passengers
take part in a clean-up operation of the Arctic shores, whilst enjoying a
thrilling adventure through fjords dominated by spectacular glaciers, spotting
polar bears and harbour seals along the way.
The “Cleaning the
Shores – Special Arctic itinerary” departs from
Longyearbyen (above) on 28 August 2015 and guests will benefit from a 20 per cent
discount on the price of the standard North Spitsbergen itinerary.
Cleaning will take place on four days of
the seven night cruise, with passengers being split into two groups; one half
will clean in the morning, whilst the second half enjoys an excursion, and the
two groups will switch roles in the afternoon.
The cruise departs from Longyearbyen, and
passengers have the opportunity to explore the town and its sights before
embarkation. The ship visits Raudfjord and Lingbukta on the north coast of West
Spitsbergen, where sea polar bears can often be spotted, and also the island of Moffen
The ship will sail 81 degrees north and barely 500 miles from the North Pole,
this is the northernmost area the cruise will reach during the expedition. Prices
for Gane and Marshall’s seven-night “Cleaning the Shores – Special Arctic itinerary” itinerary start from £2,550 per person (including the 20
per cent discount), including return flights from London Heathrow to
Longyearbyen, transfers to and from the ship and seven nights full-board
accommodation on Oceanwide Expeditions’ Ortelius ship, plus excursions.
