Arctic Destination Guide

Arctic

Otherworldly Beauty and Wonder

The vast region of the North Atlantic and the Arctic conjures up images of sparse and inhospitable snow covered lands, however when summer arrives this region springs forth in a colourful display of life. While both Antarctica and the Arctic are home to a rich variety of marine species, only an Arctic cruise will reveal the eclectic mix of cultures, a plethora of blooming wild flowers and an abundance of fascinating land animals. Every cruise to the Arctic yields a unique experience drawn from a variety of unforgettable encounters with the wildlife and peoples that call this region home.

Discovery Adventures in Arctic

Highlights

  • Bear-antee Spitsbergen is the world's best place to see polar bears. Owing to our Expedition Team's extensive experience, your chances of seeing them are excellent. That's why we're the first in the industry to extend a polar bear guarantee - a 100% Bear-antee. In the unlikely event that our team is unable to locate a polar bear, every passenger onboard will receive a credit for the value they spent on their cruise to use towards a future Arctic cruise aboard the M/S Expedition.
  • Zodiac Excursions We’ll put our Zodiac team to work so you can plant your flag ashore and explore the floe edge. Encounter seabirds and their charming chicks, pack ice spotted with lazing seals, cliffs sporting a myriad of life and spectacular icebergs and landscapes.
  • Kayaking This isn’t just an outdoor adventure—it’s an opportunity to see your environment from another perspective and to glide through channels that take you past enormous tabular icebergs, slopes covered with thousands of seabirds and, if you’re lucky, a breaching whale.
  • Add-ons Our flight & hotel add-ons can be combined with any cruise you choose to complete the package and ensure your trip of a lifetime is totally stress-free.
