The Arctic

Follow generations of explorers and adventurers as you voyage into the remote expanse of the Arctic Circle. From the comfort and warmth of your stateroom onboard your Arctic cruise, sail past slow moving icebergs and cut through the majestic waters of this seemingly inhospitable region. Along the way look out for the amazing wildlife that calls the Arctic Ocean home, like whales as they breach from the depths, walruses and of course the region’s legendary polar bears. Discover Viking heritage and stories in the coastal towns of Scandinavia, Greenland and Iceland before adventuring into the true north. Amazing opportunities abound – like joining an exhilarating zodiac boat ride or polar expedition to witness the Arctic’s true grandeur up close.
