All about Arctic cruises
To satisfy our inner adventurers, we travel to unexpected places to explore the most remote corners of the world. An Arctic expedition cruise is a comprehensive journey that can make our adventuring dreams come true. Just like the brave polar explorers that came before, you can go to the High Arctic destinations of Svalbard, Franz Josef Land, and Greenland — with one exception: a modern-day Arctic tour can be carried out in complete comfort and won’t take longer than your average holiday.
Why go to the Arctic with Poseidon Expeditions?
An Arctic cruise is an opportunity to discover the pristine ecosystem of the polar regions, learn more about the flora and fauna of the high latitudes, and see it all with your own eyes. And not merely observe: think of it as a real expedition, with landings, hikes, photography tours, kayaking, and active exploration of the land. A nimble ship perfectly suited for Arctic travel can take you, among the select few passengers, to places others can only dream about visiting.

HIGHLIGHTS
Svalbard boasts one of the Arctic’s highest concentrations of polar bears. They are the world’s largest land carnivores and have become a symbol of the imperiled Arctic wilderness. This is one of the best places in the world to view polar bears in their natural habitat, hunting on pack ice.
Svalbard offers diverse landscapes of mountains, glaciers and flowering tundra. Greenland features extensive fjords, colossal icebergs and the northern lights. On the remote Jan Mayen Island, you can see the northernmost active volcano in the world. In Iceland's Westfjords, you can magnificent explore waterfalls and geysers.
The Arctic is rich with historical sites that served as bases for renowned expeditions to the North Pole. Svalbard hosts Ny Ålesund, once a mining town, now a hub for international Arctic research. At Bell Island, Cape Flora and Cape Tegetthoff, you can tread the paths of explorers like Fridtjof Nansen, Frederick Jackson and Julius von Payer.
