I have been to Svalbard twice (July and August) and once in Franz Josef Land (July). I never saw puffins, not even one single bird, but a lot of other birds. I saw a lot of walruses, very few seals. On all trips I saw polar bears, from the ship on the ice and in the water, some very close. From the zodiac (me) and the polar bears on land. On Svalbard I did a lot of hikes, also long ones (always a guide with a weapon to protect from the polar bears has to be with the group). Once we had a situation, where we saw a group of polar bears during a hike far away, so we had to turn around go back to the ship, and approached the bears by zodiac. I once saw a big group of whales feeding, this was a spectacle. I saw a group of beluga whales. I saw polar foxes. In Svalbard I visited historical sites, research stations and Barentsburg (a Russian Coal Mining town). I saw a lot of landscape, glacier, ice and tiny flowers.

A week later, and the problem is still there! No change. And nobody answered my email, telling them the problem.

I found something! It is not working when I am routed via the German Seabourn Site, it is only working correctly when I am able to use the international Seabourn Site! And it is only possible to choose the international site if I am not in a german (speaking?) environment. I wrote to Seabourn, but I assume nobody cares.

Thank you! I cleared up everything in Safari and Firefox and used the newest version, nothing helped! Then I change my internet access from my standard german net to an US access and then it worked with firefox! Switching back to the german net caused the problem again. Safari does still not do it. I think this is very weird. Seabourn does not want german customers?

Thank you for your answer! I just tried Firefox and got the same results! This is 21 days Panama Canal with Seabourn Sojourn starting December 1st.

An all cruises I just checked on the Seabourn Internet page there is no itinerary shown! It is there, but it only shows "days at sea" or "visa required for some". No other information! Does anybody else also see this? I saw a lot of problems with the Seabourn Internet page lately, so much, that I don't feel like booking with them anymore. And I get emails with links in it which say page not found. I wonder what is going on there?

I first will check if I like the ship.

My cruise went down 50% since a few days! I got an upgrade to v4 now, but nobody answered my emails. I think thid\s is very strange, shouldn’t they talk to their customer?

thank you for this tip!

I just found my cruise and the following cruises for about half the original price! What an offer!

This tender looks nice! thank you for showing!

Thanks for the info. This is not the first time I have done tendering for the start of a cruise. Expedition vessels do this, and I hope on a river it is not so bumpy!

Thank you! So the ship will be at the Ship Tier and the zodiacs will pick us up at the pier. This sounds good. I wonder if Seabourn will provide me with this information!

Hallo, I am on a Seabourn Cruise leaving from Greenwich (London). On the itinerary it says "tender by zodiac". I asked Seabourn, but so far they only send me an link with cruisemapper which shows to a little island (ponton) right in the river Themse! Has somebody an idea where I would have to go (by taxi) exactly?

Thank you very much for all your options and informations! I will have to search for a Travel Agent, using the hints I am getting here! I used a german TA in the past, but found it very complicated, they couldn't deal very good with the international cruise lines. It was a lot of back and forth, so I tried it direct this time and learnt. Nevertheless I will enjoy the trip! By the way, I wouldn't have checked the price for my cruise, but Seabourn send me a promotion email with a link, and the very first cruise which showed up was my booked cruise!
