Poseidon Expeditions & the North Pole

North Pole icebreaker cruises


There’s no more bucket list-worthy entry than a voyage to the North Pole…and Poseidon Expeditions has been offering this voyage to the North Pole for almost 20 years. Sailing from Murmansk, Russia, the sailing takes place on what is considered to be the world’s most powerful icebreaker, the nuclear-powered 50 Years of Victory.

Already underway is Poseidon Expeditions’ sold-out 2019 season, but the line plans to operate three trips to 90º north latitude at the height of the 2020 summer season: July 12, July 23 and Aug. 3. The 13-day program includes a full day of activities on the ice at the North Pole, plus Zodiac landings on Franz Josef Land, an infrequently visited region of 192 islands rich in polar wildlife and stark landscapes in the Russian High Arctic. Rates for the 2020 season, including the early booking savings that are in effect through Oct. 31, 2019, range from $29,445 per person for Standard Stateroom to $42,840 for the 355-sq.-ft. Arktika Suite.
