Arctic Destinations

Vast and spectacular, the Arctic reaches from Russia's Far East to Spitsbergen to Arctic Norway. Covered in ice pack for most of the year, it is during the short summer months we are offered the opportunity to witness the diverse scenery, unusual wildlife and interesting peoples the Arctic has to offer. Whether it is an adventure into history, an exploration of natural wonders, or a look at rare and amazing cultures, there is a voyage for everyone in the land of the midnight sun.

We provide complete trip planning services for cruises to the various Arctic regions, including the Canadian Arctic, Greenland, Spitsbergen, Alaska and the Russian Far East.

The High Arctic is best explored in July to September, as the pack ice recedes. From the decks of huge ice breakers to Luxury Cruise Ships to 50 passenger converted research ships, there's a lot to explore. Polar bears, walrus, seals, and even Arctic foxes haunt the ice edge, while millions of seabirds breed and raise their young on ledges and barren islands. Remote villages, icebergs and magnificent scenery and historic sites make for unforgettable vacations.

Spitsbergen
Spitsbergen is the wildlife capital of the Arctic. In Spitsbergen the wildlife is protected, so you have a chance to see the animals in their natural state, in great abundance.

Northwest Passage
Connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, the Northwest Passage, that has claimed the curiosity, hearts and lives of so many, is now a journey into the past to discover the courage, misery and pure determination of some of history’s greatest explorers.

Canadian Arctic
In the Canadian High Arctic you will be astounded by the incredible scenery as you explore among the mountain, fjords, glaciers and pack ice that make up this incredible wilderness area and provide homes for rare and interesting wildlife; the noble muskox, the illustrious walrus or even a regal polar bear.

North Pole
With a distinct goal in mind, this journey offers the chance of a lifetime, to be one of the privileged few to stand at 90° north, the top of the world.

Greenland-West
On the west coast of Greenland you will have the opportunity to see how Inuit people live and co-exist with the polar bears, arctic fox, walrus and reindeer that make this adverse land their home.

Greenland-East
Remote, spectacular and covered in ice, Eastern Greenland virtually glows from the inside as the sun glistens off towering icebergs and flowing glaciers.

Iceland and Spitsbergen
Iceland is a volcanic island in the North Atlantic Ocean. The most westerly point of Europe is the Látrabjarg cliff in the West Fjords, while Reykjavik is the world's most northerly capital of Europe.

Franz Josef Land
Russia’s Franz Josef Land has been closed to foreigner travelers for more than half a century. Total darkness six months of the year coupled with extreme ice and weather conditions continue to make it relatively inaccessible to travelers.

Russian Far East
These trips offer unique opportunities to explore this Russia’s remote and culturally rich environs. Traversing the coast of the Chukotka Pennisula, through the Bering Strait, passengers are offered a unique and historical journey.
