Luxury Adventures in the Arctic

Characterized by its distinct nature, extreme living conditions, and the majestic Northern Lights, the Arctic is the northernmost and largest polar region in the world. The region stretches across the northern lands of the US, Canada, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Russia, covering an area of 5.9 million square miles. Exploring this region on an Arctic cruise allows you to witness its breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife.

The Arctic has a harsh climate and diverse wildlife, home to more than 21,000 species of cold-adapted mammals, birds, fish, invertebrates, and plants. Some of the most characteristic residents of the Arctic include reindeer, foxes, whales, and polar bears. While some forests exist, much of the Arctic is covered in typical tundra vegetation like grasses and sedges.

Since it is one of the harshest climates in the world, living in the Arctic requires a lot of adaptation and knowledge. Nevertheless, such conditions didn’t stop human societies from settling in this region and calling it home. Today, the area houses distinct populations across eight countries and offers unforgettable Arctic cruises and adventures to those seeking new experiences. Exploring this icy wilderness on an Arctic cruise allows travellers to witness its beauty while navigating one of the most extreme environments on Earth.
