Polar Cruising: Antarctica & The Arctic 2023

EVER IMAGINED FLYING OVER THE ARCTIC IN A HELICOPTER OR PLUNGING INTO ANTARCTIC WATERS IN A SUBMARINE? See which expedition cruise lines offer these once-in-a-lifetime adventures.

Helicopter Flightseeing

Scenic Luxury Cruises: Soar above some of the most breathtaking spectacles on board one of two state-of-the- art Airbus H130-T2 helicopters, setting the standard for tour operators worldwide with these optimal flightseeing capabilities. Oceanwide Expeditions: On select Ortelius voyages, helicopters are available to reach areas that cannot be visited by vessel. This makes polar exploration even more exhilarating, allowing you to set foot in areas often impossible to reach any other way.

The intimate and innovative new exploration vehicles are capable of diving to depths of 300 meters (984 feet) offering passengers an awe-inspiring perspective of the marine world just outside. Scenic Luxury Cruises: Scenic Neptune is a U-Boat Worx Cruise Submarine 7 capable of diving up to a depth of 984 ft, with spacious seating for up to six guests, plus our expert pilot. Custom-built for optimal sightseeing, an excursion under the ocean will be truly unforgettable. Viking: Two large-capacity submarines comfortably accommodate 6 guests and a pilot for an incomparable undersea experience. The revolving seats plus nearly 270° spherical windows offer an undistorted view in all directions for every guest.
