Explore Untamed Landscapes

Embarking on an Arctic cruise is to set sail through a tableau of breathtaking vistas. The Arctic Circle, wrapped in an ethereal light that shifts from day’s glow to night’s dance of the aurora borealis, captivates intrepid travellers. Here, untouched wilderness stretches as far as the eye can see. Towering glaciers, majestic icebergs, and snow-capped mountains create a backdrop of serene beauty, painting the horizon with shades of blue and white.

These Arctic cruise packages offer intimate encounters with the natural world. As your ship navigates the frigid waters, you might spot pods of beluga whales gliding gracefully, or watch as a polar bear prowls the icy expanse. Seabirds soar above, their calls echoing through the chilled air, completing the enchanting soundscape.

Delve into Indigenous Cultures

No Arctic vacation package would be complete without delving into the region’s rich cultural tapestry. The Arctic is not only home to awe-inspiring landscapes but also to vibrant Indigenous communities with histories as rich as the land upon which they dwell.

Travellers can visit Inuit villages, learning about their resilient way of life and traditions honed over thousands of years. Engage with local artisans to discover the stories woven into intricate beadwork and handmade crafts. This cultural immersion adds depth and humanity to your Arctic adventure, making each encounter and every story a new facet of the Arctic narrative.

Savour the Flavours of the North

Culinary experiences in the Arctic are as unique as the land itself. The flavours of the North are robust, defined by locally sourced ingredients and traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. Seafood lovers can relish freshly caught Arctic char, while those seeking warmth can indulge in savory reindeer stews.

Your Arctic cruise may also include a taste of Indigenous cuisine, providing an authentic culinary lens into the area's heritage. Sample dishes that speak of survival and celebration, encapsulating the relationship between the people and their environment.

Practical Travel Tips for Arctic Journeys

  • Timing is Key: The best time to embark on Arctic cruises is during the summer months, from June to August, when temperatures are milder and wildlife is more active.
  • Pack for the Weather: Layers are your friend. With temperatures fluctuating and the wind often biting, thermal wear, water-resistant clothing, and insulated boots are essential.
  • Go with Professionals: Opt for reputable Arctic cruise packages to ensure safety and enriching experiences. Guided tours often include expert naturalists and historians who can provide insight into the region's ecology and history.
  • Capture the Moments: Don’t forget to bring a good camera. From the mesmerizing hues of a midnight sun to the raw magnificence of glacial formations, the Arctic offers boundless photographic opportunities.

Global Connections, Personal Adventures

By choosing Arctic vacation packages, travellers not only explore one of the world's last great wildernesses but also connect with a larger global narrative about climate change and conservation. The Arctic is a bellwether for environmental shifts, and witnessing its splendour first-hand fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of our planet.

As you set your compass northward, embrace the vastness of the unknown and the prospect of discovery. Whether you're tracing the path of early explorers or charting your own course across the icy seas, the Arctic holds stories written in ice, waiting to be unveiled.

Feel the pulse of the Arctic beneath your feet, the stories told by the winds, and the resonance of a land that defies convention and invites exploration. This is more than a destination; it's an invitation to adventure, reflection, and connection. Your Arctic journey beckons — are you ready to answer the call?

Many think the Arctic is always dark and frozen, but summer brings 24 hour daylight and surprisingly mild coastal temperatures. It’s not just ice, it’s tundra, wildflowers, and vibrant communities.

While researching suppliers for a clients Thailand honeymoon, I remembered being referred to GoWay by a longterm TA ….because they “get it right and get it done!” I had already started their training modules, so I put in a quote. Immediately, Taylor responded with a very thorough email and we decided to chat. I gave him my specifics and he again responded immediately and matched my client’s travel needs 100%. I found it comforting to speak with a country expert with the knowledge I needed. My clients booked their vacation and are very excited about their itinerary! Thank you Taylor for making this process seamless.Karla B

Our rep at GoWay, Kimberly, was fantastic from start to finish. She came up with the exact itinerary we wanted for Melbourne, Uluru, Cairns and Sydney, and assisted us with both international and domestic flights to help us get the best rates. Once we were on the trip, everything flowed seamlessly and every tour and transport was on time.Lisa Wildes

As a travel agent, this is not the first time I’ve chosen to work with Goway for organizing my clients’ trip, this time to Chile, and once again, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Throughout the entire process, I could count on truly professional service from Susanna. My clients are very experienced travelers and requested a highly customized itinerary, including many unique experiences that are not typically included in standard tour programs. There were also several occasions when, on behalf of my clients, I requested changes to an already prepared itinerary. Susanna was consistently helpful, patient, understanding, and — just as importantly — incredibly kind and pleasant to work with. It was clear that she genuinely cared about creating the best possible experience for my clients. I’m also certain that much of the work she put in went well beyond standard hours and expectations. My clients returned absolutely delighted with their vacation, which is always the greatest confirmation of a job well done. Thank you, Susanna, for your dedication and exceptional support. And thank you, Goway, for another wonderful experience!Beata

We booked our 3,week tour of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and overall it was an excellent experience. I typically book my own travel, but travelling with a group and wanting tours in each destination made GoWay a great choice. We had great hotels and good guides in each city. I will say that our standout guide was Romeo Tran in Ho Chi Minh City. We spent a few days in the city, as well as an over night boat ride on the delta, and he was fantastic. We had alot of fun with him, and would highly recommend him in particular. Neil Braun

We booked a Viking cruise (Venice to Athens) through Goway Travel and it was fantastic! Our agent Kimberly was extremely helpful with air travel options, choosing excursions, and suggestions for pre and post cruise activities. Great communications and a really enjoyable experience.Stanley

We booked through Paula Williamson in the Toronto office, a Great Journeys New Zealand trip and it was fantastic! Although I had already scheduled a trip on The Ghan train in Australia, Paula helped me work it all as one huge 45 day trip including Bali Indonesia. My favorite was the New Zealand trip as I’d never been there before and the tour guide Toni was so spectacular and caring. I’m so pleased Goway was involved and I didn’t require any additional assistance once We'd started the first flight March 8. If we do another overseas trip, Goway will be involved.John

Michael Keon arranged our recent trip to Malta. I gave him a rough outline of what we were looking for and he responded quickly making great suggestions, offering alternatives as needed and booking everything. The hotel, excursions and transport he arranged were all exactly what we hoped for. We will be asking Michael to book our future European vacations. Mayssa Mirshak
