Arctic Adventure Cruises - in the Realm of
the Polar BearPlease go to the 2006 cruises index
Travel to some of the most exciting areas in the world -
the home of the polar bear, glaciers, icebergs and fascinating
flora and fauna
We offer a fine collection of adventure and expedition cruises
to the Arctic with excursions ashore to view the sights -
even to the North Pole itself! This is the land of the Midnight
Sun, where the sun barely sets throughout the summer.
An Adventure Cruise and an Expedition Cruise are offered
to Spitsbergen, the largest island in the starkly beautiful
Svalbard Archipelago.
400 miles north of mainland Norway Spitsbergen is just 600
miles from the North Pole itself. Spectacular cliffs dominate
the coastline with deep hidden fjords and colourful villages.
Plants and migratory birds flourish in this national park,
alongside reindeer, seals, arctic foxes and polar bears.
Still within the Arctic Circle our Lofoten Islands Cruise
visits scenic villages and passes enormous glaciers with the
chance of a whale encounter.
Go to the North Pole on our Icebreaker Cruise from Murmansk
to the Pole itself, with included helicopter and Zodiac excursions.
The best way to experience this fantastic Arctic landscape
is from a ship, and you have various different voyages to
choose from.
