At the end of May 2018 we arrived in Oslo to record-high temperatures. The next day we took a magnificent 7 hour train trip over the mountains to Bergen. We spent a full day looking around Bergen before boarding the MS Expedition for a voyage north up the Norwegian coast and across the Barents Sea to Svalbard.

We flew back from Svalbard to spend a couple more nights in Oslo, before continuing our trip to Stockholm and then England.


This covers just the 15 day voyage in the MS Expedition from Bergen to Longyearbyen, Svalbard, arranged by days. See the links below for more photos of specific parts of the trip, or highlights of the whole month.
