Why Arctic?
Arctic, a unique and remote destination
You can't compare the Arctic to anywhere else on the planet. Small pockets of human life survive in this huge land of ice caps, mountains, and glaciers. The Arctic is a vast ocean surrounded by land, encompassing European, Canadian, and Russian territories.
Polar bears are an iconic symbol of the Arctic and the Arctic offers travellers the chance of seeing them in the wild. Spot polar bear from an expedition cruise as they roam across vast land and sea ice in search for food.
