I'm not sure if that ship is still in operation, but Hurtigruten has a number of other Spitsbergen/Svalbard expedition cruises in the summer months. As for polar bears, I was one of the few people who did NOT see one. it was such a bummer! We saw a bobbing head from afar, but that was it. Apparently, that is atypical, and there are other people on our ship who saw polar bears as we sailed along by sitting on the deck for hours. And the captain of the cruise the week after us sent us pictures of a polar bear they spotted eating a whale! It was surreal--and I can't believe it happened just after I left!

I've always wanted to hug a walrus, on account of the fact that they look so squishy. Guess I'll have to put that one on the To Not Do list. Huh.
