Experience the spellbinding beauty and captivating wildlife of the Arctic on a small-ship expedition voyage. Visiting this remote region delivers life enriching experiences that are simply incomparable. Wildlife encounters are quietly exhilarating, while the awe-inspiring scenery of sculpted icebergs, snow-covered mountains and sweeping glaciers is mesmeric. Zodiac cruises, hikes ashore and optional kayaking excursions immerse you in the extraordinary natural world.
With cruises ranging from 8-30 days in duration, choose to journey around Spitsbergen in search of polar bears, follow in the wake of Viking settlers in Greenland, or sail the legendary Northwest Passage.
No two explorers are the same, so you have the freedom to craft your experience exactly how you want.
