ISFJORD EKSPRESSEN
Welcome aboard ISFJORD-EKSPRESSEN, our comfortable shuttle boat built for the extreme conditions in the Svalbard Islands. We run daily departures from Longyearbyen to Isfjord Radio Adventure Hotel at Kapp Linné, and back. We also call at other destinations around Isfjorden. The shuttle boat can be chartered and rented for safari adventures.
During summer, from May to October, the only way to travel to our remote outposts in the Svalbard archipelago is by boat. ISFJORD-EKSPRESSEN offers fast transport and the opportunity to explore the Isfjord area in a comfortable and efficient way.
ISFJORD-EKSPRESSEN has room for 12 passengers and a crew of 3 – and we have a seat with a view for everyone. The boat has a simple kitchen, shower, small galley toilet and a cabin up front. Our captains have extensive experience in Arctic waters.
Isfjord Radio is the only Norwegian-inhabited destination and outpost around Isfjorden outside Longyearbyen. The 1933 built radio station is situated on the border of civilization. The boutique hotel holds one of the finest kitchens on the island and offers exclusive wilderness excursions.

Spend your days exploring the wilderness together with your Arctic nature guide, and enjoy a delicious dinner prepared by your host when you arrive back at the hotel. Just as the former radio station manager hosted and served the Norewgian polar hero, Fritjof Nansen, Isfjord Radio’s own chef will prepare and serve you a tasty menu with a touch of local ingredients and unique combinations of flavours. Isfjord Radio is the perfect place to be on the lookout for the “Big Five” of Svalbard. The more time you spend in the Arctic wilderness, the more likely you are to cross walruses, polar bears, the Arctic fox, the Svalbard grouse and the Svalbard reindeer off your bucket list.
