Arctic Adventure Cruises - in the Realm of
the Polar Bear
Travel to some of the most exciting areas in the world -
the home of the polar bear, glaciers, icebergs and fascinating
flora and fauna
We offer a fine collection of adventure and expedition cruises
to the Arctic with excursions ashore to view the sights -
even to the North Pole itself! This is the land of the Midnight
Sun, where the sun barely sets throughout the summer.
An Adventure Cruise and an Expedition Cruise are offered
to Spitsbergen, the largest island in the starkly beautiful
Svalbard Archipelago.
400 miles north of mainland Norway Spitsbergen is just 600
miles from the North Pole itself. Spectacular cliffs dominate
the coastline with deep hidden fjords and colourful villages.
Plants and migratory birds flourish in this national park,
alongside reindeer, seals, arctic foxes and polar bears.
Still within the Arctic Circle our Greenland adventure cruises take you to the heart of the largest island in the World.
We offer a wide selection of cruises which explore both the ice covered extremities of northern Greenland and the staggeringly fertile green expanses of southern Greenland
Go to the North Pole on our Icebreaker Cruise from Murmansk
to the Pole itself, with included helicopter and Zodiac excursions.
The best way to experience this fantastic
Arctic landscape is from a ship, and you
have various different voyages to choose
from.
