SPITSBERGEN The only permanently inhabited island in Svalbard and renowned for being home to more polar bears than people, Spitsbergen is an unrivalled Arctic destination. In summer, you can cruise the Arctic waters and tackle heart-thumping expeditions by dog sled. In winter, be blown away by the spectacle of the Northern Lights. Spitsbergen is the most visited Arctic destination in Europe and a brilliant introduction to Arctic explorations. Getting there: Longyearbyen is the major thoroughfare for Arctic cruises visiting the Spitsbergen area. It is also the departure point for most cruises to the North Pole. Fly via Oslo or Tromso to Longyearbyen.

With tens of thousands of islands to meander around, dodging icebergs, polar bears and vertiginous ice-capped peaks, the Canadian Arctic region is Mother Nature at her most impressive. Boasting a rich history in seafaring exploration, along the coveted Northwest Passage, this is the best destination if you want to indulge in a lot of adventure activities. Getting there: Departure from selected Canadian cities where guests will board a charter flight to Iqaluit to board their cruise. From here you can explore the Canadian Arctic and Greenland.

Getting there: Most cruises that include Greenland will usually start or end in either Longyearbyen or Reykjavik. Charter flights can also be included in the package.
ICELAND Iceland is truly sensational, a country revered for its incredible glaciers, dramatic fjords, jaw-dropping volcanoes, thermal springs, stupendous waterfalls, and an amazing array of outdoor pursuits in striking wilderness that’s as lush and enticing as any you’ll ever see. Iceland speaks to the thrill-seeker and the nature lover, one who wants to indulge in both passions simultaneously. Getting there: Fly into the nation’s capital, Reykjavik, the departure points for many Icelandic itineraries.
