Creator's Key Takeaways

we had selected this Norwegian cruise lines cruise specifically for this destination and I was going to be pretty upset if this port had been cancelled

the views from the ship on sail in were fantastic and for someone living in the Mid-Atlantic of the United States everything about this trip was designed to be disorienting

this is a place where the ground stays frozen solid can't be buried here here and neither can the pipes necessary for heating

the views from the stern were still pretty amazing and if you got cold you could always come back in

Creator's Tips & Advice

adjust your volume for wind noises as they are a big part of the trip
pack correctly for windy winter weather even in June

YouTube Video Description

My NCL cruise called at Longyearbyen, in Svalbard. I loved it and need to get back there. Honestly, you could watch this video with the sound off and just look at the setting to understand why! Then I got fascinated by the possibility of seeing the part of Svalbard that was under Russian control.
