Summer 2027 · 1 June – 31 August
Svalbard under the midnight sun
Summer in Svalbard is unlike anywhere else. The sun never sets, the snow melts away from the valleys, and the whole archipelago wakes up. Reindeer graze right outside town, seabirds fill the cliffs, and if you’re lucky you’ll spot seals, walruses or even whales out on the fjord.
With daylight around the clock, you can explore whenever you like: a glacier hike in the morning, a boat trip at midnight, or a long walk under the golden light in between. It’s quieter and milder than winter, but still wild in the way only the Arctic can be.
To make it easy, we’ve put together three room and tour packages with some of the best local operators. Book direct with us and you save.
Every package includes
- 3 nights at Gjestehuset 102 in Nybyen
- Breakfast every morning
- 2 guided trips with trusted local operators
- Booking help from our team, so you don’t have to plan it all yourself
- Want something different? Send us an email and we’ll put together a package for your group

Then get to know the town on a two-hour sightseeing tour, where a local guide shows you the landmarks, viewpoints and cultural highlights.

Adventurous
Start with a Glacier Safari: travel by boat to the glacier front and step onto ancient ice, surrounded by dramatic landscapes and the silence of the Arctic. Cold, wild and unforgettable.

Cancellation policy
- 22 days or more before arrival: full refund
- 8–21 days before arrival: 50% refund
- 0–7 days before arrival: no refund
Svalbard is beautiful but unpredictable. For your safety, the guides may move a trip to another day or swap it for a different trip if conditions don’t allow the original plan. In rare cases a trip may have to be cancelled because of the weather, and then you get a full refund for that trip. Your safety and comfort always come first.
What’s the weather like in summer?
From June to August the midnight sun shines around the clock. Expect mild Arctic weather, usually between 3 °C and 10 °C. It can feel warmer in the sun and colder in the wind, and it can change from sunshine to rain, fog or strong wind in the same day.
What should I wear?
Dress in layers. Even in summer it can get chilly.
- Comfortable, waterproof hiking boots
- Wool base layers (skip the cotton)
- A wind- and waterproof jacket and trousers
- A warm mid-layer, like a sweater or fleece
- A beanie, a buff and gloves (yes, still useful!)
- Sunglasses and sunscreen, because the midnight sun is strong
What’s smart to bring?
- A small backpack for snacks, water and extra clothes on the trips
- A reusable water bottle. Our tap water isn’t for drinking, but you can fill up at the filtered drinking-water tap on the 2nd floor
- A power bank for long days out
- A camera or binoculars for wildlife and landscapes
How do I get from the airport?
The airport shuttle bus waits outside the terminal after every arrival, so there’s no need to book. Gjestehuset 102 is the last stop.
