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.

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.
