Europe Polar Expeditions and Cruise Tours 2024/2025

“We explored the Far North, discovering an Arctic world with wonderful new friends and grand daily adventures. We attended lectures, jumped into zodiacs for new shores, walked on the ice pack, learned about northern life and its peoples, and shared vibrant conversations at meals. Hotel staff very hospitable and expedition staff wise and fun. An outstanding adventure was had.”

“Such a privilege, travelling on a nuclear-powered Russian icebreaker which spends most of the year keeping the northern Russian seaways clear for cargo ships: a brilliant job was due to convert it temporarily for tourists. The dour Heroes of the Motherland were retained to crew the vessel which made it all the more atmospheric, but they couldnt compete for character with the polar bears, especially the one who was so co-operative for photos despite us having distracted him from his kill.The only downside was that we werent warned how hot the boat is: future travellers need to take some light clothing for indoors.”

“Great trip!Our first sighting of a polar bear was amazing.Watching the icebreaker ship going through the dense pack ice was awesome.Standing and spending several hours on the North Pole was a wonderful experience made more special as we reached the North Pole on the day of the summer solstice. We stayed overnight at the Pole on the icebreaker and spent several hours the following day on the north pole.Once in a life time experience!”
