Arctic Cruises from $4,529*
Expedition cruises to the Arctic are exciting adventures where you become an explorer. You’ll gear up to head out into the brisk temperatures, you’ll observe the region’s wildlife and you’ll listen to lectures on the ecosystem, history and the research that’s been conducted throughout the Arctic Circle. It’s more than a really cold region; the Arctic has a lot of surprises to offer, like the Aurora Borealis (also known as the Northern Lights) or the fact that in the summer the sun seemingly never sets. It’s the land of the Midnight Sun – a place where you can see polar bears roaming and narwhals swimming in the water.
View Cruises to Arctic
While on your Arctic expedition cruise your days will be filled with adventure. Have your binoculars ready for wildlife spotting and get geared up to handle the weather. At night you’ll be able to reflect on your adventures in the warmth of your well-appointed cruise ship. Featured below are a few of our top picks for things to do on an Arctic cruise:

It’s a pretty safe bet that when you head out to embark on an Arctic cruise you’ll be leaving from a city or town in Norway. Currently you can sail from Bergen, Tromso or Longyearben. Bergen and Tromso offer a bit of a city feel that contrasts the islands of the Arctic where few people live. There are also cruises that leave from and explore Greenland and also Iceland. Greenland is much more desolate than its smaller counterpart, Iceland, but it offers the chance to learn about Norse and Viking pasts and see the haunting Qilakitsoq mummies. Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital, has amazing geology with volcanoes and the famous thermally heated Blue Lagoon. It’s also known for having a party atmosphere on the weekends.
