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.

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker

My clients had a wonderful time on their trip to Easter Island. They were very pleased with the Hare Nua Hotel Boutique and especially noted the warmth and hospitality of the hotel staff as well as their excellent breakfasts. Jaime Vargas-Hendandez was an exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable agent, who went out of his way to ensure that my clients had the best possible experience. I will definitely contact him for future bookings and will recommend him to my colleagues.Alethea Kardas
