Arctic Cruises and Tours

All these destinations on Arctic trips are reached by small cruise ships so that you can explore in total comfort with the opportunity to get up “close and personal” with various fascinating land masses. This is the very best way to enjoy the Arctic. Cruising on a comfortable ship specially equipped to maneuver around the terrain gives maximum exposure to the region. Because of the limited mild season, all departures for Arctic cruises take place between June and September.

The duration of Arctic trips ranges from 9 to 15 days in length.

During your trip, you will see breathtaking scenery which includes immense glaciers including the fastest-moving glacier in the world, steep-sided majestic fjords, impressive sea cliffs, and imposing massive icebergs among many other visual attractions. You will visit colourful remote local communities to find out how everyday life goes on. You will experience an abundance of amazing and prolific wildlife which includes polar bears, whales, walrus, caribou, seals and reindeer. For ornithological fans, the region is teeming with rare bird species.

Other experiences on Arctic travel include a helicopter ride, a hot air balloon excursion, a demonstration of traditional kayaking, viewing Inuit art, visiting trading posts and national historic and archaeological sites and marvel at the Northern Lights in all their splendour. Active pursuits include hiking, going sea kayaking and taking Zodiac excursions to explore the region in closer detail.

You will return from your Arctic experience simply amazed at a large amount of stunning natural beauty and exciting vistas in this region of wonders.
