This has been a bucketlist trip for me, for a long time. I was beyond excited when this trip was released and signed up right away. It was worth the wait!!! Traveling to the Arctic, the pack ice, the anticipation and FINALLY seeing wild polar bears was unforgettable!!!! I always enjoy reuniting with friends I made on Alyssa's trips; I enjoyed having the opportunity to get to know more of our Travel Tribe family. We had such a great group this trip. Can't wait for the next Travel Tribe adventure!!!

This was my first trip with Alyssa and the Travel Tribe, and I’m hoping it won’t be my last! Had an amazing experience and met some incredible people that made the trip even better! Worth every penny. Alyssa knows how to curate and enhance experiences for ANYONE.

An epic adventure with great people, great food, and great accommodations. Having done both Antarctica and now the Arctic it would be a mistake for anyone to think that because they have done one they don’t need to do the other. They are very different, yet both spectacular, experiences. We had six polar bear sittings including two cub/mother combos plus two lone males(?), one of which entered the water to swim off to some unknown destination. Plus a full day of slowly plowing through the pack ice in search of wildlife was an experience that will never be forgotten. Experiences over stuff for the win - every time!

Svalbard had always been on my “one day” bucket list, so when Alyssa announced a group trip there, I jumped at the opportunity. This trip turned out to be everything I hoped for and more. Seeing walruses and polar bears, cruising through the pack ice, taking part in the Arctic polar plunge, and doing it all with an amazing group of fellow travellers made for an unforgettable experience. I honestly had so much fun with everyone. Thank you, Alyssa! I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Thank you Alyssa, for such an awesome and another EPIC trip! You always organize and curate the best experiences and I'm so grateful I get to do things I never thought were possible. The Arctic, Pack Ice and Polar Bears are things I thought only Natgeo people could do, and I'm still in awe that we got to do it. And I got to do it with other like minded travelers and friends! Everything was wonderful, thank you again! :)
