Tailor Made Arctic Cruises

The Arctic is one of the most fascinating and most fragile regions of the globe. Visitors will quickly discover that this seemingly stark landscape, comprised of icebergs, Arctic tundra, and frigid waters as far as the eye can see, is home to abundant – albeit well-camouflaged – wildlife and truly spectacular natural phenomena. From witnessing the transformational Northern Lights, to navigating fjords and icebergs, to visiting some of the northernmost communities in the world, to round-the-clock daylight in the summertime, to the thrill of potentially spotting fluffy white polar bear cubs, your multi-day Arctic cruise is sure to be unforgettable.

Best of Arctic

Our Destination Expert's describe their favorite places and ways to visit the Arctic from their personal travel experience.

Dazzling Northern Lights

Witness the mesmerizing dance of the Arctic’s famed aurora borealis, where the night sky comes alive with vibrant hues. Marvel at the ethereal beauty as ribbons of green, purple, and blue illuminate the darkness, creating a celestial spectacle. From land or by sea, grab a front row seat for the awe-inspiring display of nature's most captivating light show – and return home breathless and filled with wonder.

Polar Bears, Walruses & Whales

Observe regal polar bears roaming their icy kingdom, their powerful presence leaving an indelible impression. Observe immense herds of powerful walruses basking on rugged shores, encounter graceful whale species, and admire the agility of Arctic foxes as they traverse the frozen terrain. From majestic reindeer to playful seals, the Arctic's wildlife offers a thrilling glimpse into a world of untamed beauty.

Wilderness & Glaciers

Explore the vast wilderness and towering glaciers of the Arctic. Traverse the untouched tundra, its rugged beauty stretching as far as the eye can see. Stand before colossal ice formations, where ancient glaciers reveal their millennia-old secrets. Bask in the tranquil stillness, broken only by the occasional distant rumble of calving glaciers. The Arctic is a world of pristine wilderness and icy grandeur.
