The Arctic encompasses a vast area of continent, ocean, islands and ice- sheets, lying north of the Arctic Circle. Parts of Canada, Greenland, the Spitsbergen archipelago and Siberia all fall within the region, which unlike Antarctica, has been inhabited for thousands of years. What better way to discover this polar wilderness than on an expedition voyage…
|
| Expedition voyages are holidays, not research projects, that cover many nautical miles and visit an array of fascinating and remote places. Visitors are drawn by the breathtaking scenery of the region and the wildlife and history associated with it. Much of the land is carved out by massive glaciers, leaving eroded mountains and deeply scored valleys. Huge icecaps cover large parts of it, fringed by glaciers that dip into transparent fjords, calving icebergs of all shapes and sizes.
The details of each Arctic voyage can be found within our Arctic Experience Summer brochure and also on our Discover the Arctic website: www.discover-the-world.co.uk/arctic. Please find a short introduction to each voyage below and also the articles: "Introducing Arctic Voyages" and "What you need to know" in our further information section.

| SPITSBERGEN VOYAGES |
These voyages focus on the stunning scenery, history and wildlife of the largest island in the Svalbard archipelago. In early summer the focus is on North Spitsbergen, while later in the season as the ice breaks up, a full circumnavigation is possible offering the best opportunities for spotting polar bear and walrus.
|
GREENLAND VOYAGES
|
These two voyages focus on exploring the largely untouched and rugged east coast of Greenland. A land of epic proportions, the world’s longest fjord, largest national park where musk ox roam and the highest peak north of the Arctic Circle all feature. Depart from either Iceland or Spitsbergen.
