Inspiring Arctic Adventures for Your Event
While Longyearbyen will captivate guests with its unique charm, the beauty of Svalbard lies in its expansive wilderness.
Throughout the year, this Arctic wonderland transforms into a playground of possibilities, from hiking under the midnight sun, snowmobiling through white silence, or setting sail across the majestic fjords.
With so many options to choose from, our events team is on hand to help recommend & plan the ideal activity for your event. These shared adventures will energise and inspire your guests, leaving a lasting memory of your time in the Arctic.
Tailored Catering & Dining Options
Throughout your event, our team provides tailored catering experiences that complement your event with local flair and flexibility, whilst reflecting the flavours of the Arctic.
As the day winds down, elevate your experience with a dinner that captures the spirit of Svalbard. Host an elegant meal at Funktionmaerssen restaurant or visit the atmospheric cellars at Funken Lodge for guided tastings of hidden gems curated by our expert sommelier.
For an authentic dining experience, immerse yourself in the Arctic wilderness at Camp Barentz. Set against the rugged polar landscape, an evening here is steeped in history and atmosphere, where beside a roaring fire, you’ll dine on traditional reindeer bidos in a replica of Willem Barentz’s cabin.
