the Arctic

Arctic cruises run mainly from June to September, when the midnight sun lights up glaciers, fjords and remote settlements. Svalbard itineraries search for polar bears, walruses and seabirds, while Greenland voyages weave among the giant icebergs of Disko Bay and visit Inuit communities. Iceland adds waterfalls, geothermal landscapes and dramatic coastline. Smaller expedition ships use Zodiac boats for landings and wildlife cruising, with plans always shaped by ice and weather.
