Ny Alesund, Norway Cruise Port

Ny Alesund is a research town found in what is known as Oscar II Land on the island of Spitsbergen. The island is located in the Norwegian Svalbard region and the town is considered to be one of the few centers used for international arctic scientific research and also for environmental monitoring. Ny Alesund is situated on the region’s Brogger peninsula where it is served by the Kongsfjorden bay. The town is also thought of as a company town, since it is owned and operated by a company called Kings Bay. However, the town is ultimately owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry. Listed below are some of the experiences, attractions, and activities that visitors could enjoy after cruising to Ny Alesund, Norway:
 
  • Visitors who are interested in learning about the town's mining history should not miss out on paying a visit to the Ny Alesund Town and Mine Museum, which holds the title of being the world’s northernmost museum and is housed in a structure dating back to 1917.
     
  • Nature lovers and birdwatchers should not miss out on visiting the nearby Kongsfjorden Bird Sanctuary. The whole region has numerous nesting locations and has even been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International. A wide variety of birds come to breed in the area covered by the sanctuary.
     
  • The vast expanses found in the region are quite good for hikes. Visitors should visit the Ossian Sars Nature Reserve where a hiking trail has been mapped throughout the reserve. The reserve and the mountain were named after a biologist called Georg Ossian Sars.
