Luxury Arctic Cruises
Luxury Arctic Travel
A geological wonderland of fire, ice and color, the Arctic reveals the rarest of wild beauties. Many come in search of the polar bear, a magnificent predator, relentless in its ability to adapt in a dramatically changing environment. Though any visitor who sets foot in the Arctic — and especially those who have seen Antarctica — are fast amazed by its brilliant dichotomy of flora. Our Luxury Expedition Cruises to the Far North take you to the heart of it all in absolute comfort and style.
Join our award-winning Expedition Team as you follow in the footsteps of some of the greatest explorers of all time, including Erik the Red and Roald Amundsen. Look forward to learning about these legends while discovering the Arctic’s timeless communities, geological wonders — from blue glaciers to smoking hills — and a stunning wildlife that is home to tufted musk oxen, colorful puffins, and even the rare narwhal.
