NORTHERN EUROPE CRUISES
Arctic Cruises 2023
Experience the Arctic on a cruise in 2023. A cruise is an excellent option, as it allows you to see more of this expensive region in a short period of time.
When you embark on an Arctic cruise, you give yourself permission to be transported to an universe in which humans play the role of spectators and nature holds the position of absolute ruler. These cruises not only provide financial assistance to the regional communities, but also give tourists the chance to gain insight into the locals' way of life in this isolated part of the world. Explore the sea ice in search of polar bears, and take a Zodiac or kayak out onto the sparkling icebergs to get up close and personal with them. Exploration of the Arctic is typically done on large expedition ships staffed by knowledgeable guides who each have their own area of expertise.
Arctic
The Arctic Circle is the primary latitude circle that is located the farthest north of the five major circles. Countries such as Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and Greenland, as well as parts of the United States (Alaska), Canada, and Russia make up the Arctic region. The natural beauty of this region of the planet is nothing short of breathtaking. You'll find expansive horizons, icebergs, sea ice, volcanic mountain panoramas, lush woods, and the sound of thousands upon thousands of seabirds at the very top of Europe. The Northwest Passage, Baffin Island (Canada), Svalbard, the Faroe Islands, Jan Mayen Island, and Franz Joseph Land are some of the most well-known destinations that passengers can visit while on an Arctic cruise. Ittoqqortoormiit, Kangerlussuaq, Nuuk, Longyearbyen, and Kivitoo are some of the town and village names from Greenland, Iceland, Norway, and Canada that come to mind when one thinks of the Far North. Other examples are Ittoqqortoormiit and Kangerlussuaq.
