Venture to the northernmost polar region to discover glacial coastlines and mountainous fjords.
The Arctic encompasses parts of Alaska, Canada, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Russia and Sweden each with a unique characteristic. This opens up a world of possibilities to explore this sprawling landscape.
The experiences to be had in The Arctic are equally diverse, from polar bear spotting, chasing the elusive North Lights, whale watching or snow sports such as snowmobiling.
Arctic highlights
Three seasons – spring, summer and autumn – all offer something slightly different, whether it be the midnight sun in May, or migrating polar bears in October.
It’s not every day you get the opportunity to spot a polar bear. Lords of the Arctic, polar bears can be found in Svalbard, Norway, and the Canadian Arctic.
The Aurora Borealis – or Northern Lights – put on a magical night time show as flashes of colour pierce the sky. But be warned, they are notoriously fickle.
There are a number of itinerary options to choose from when planning your Arctic adventure. Our experts will help tailor-make your perfect trip.
