Set your sights on the top of the world with our new 2027 Arctic Expeditions, a season designed to showcase the polar regions at their most extraordinary. From Iceland’s puffin-rich cliffs and Greenland’s iceberg-choked fjords to the remote Thule settlements and Svalbard’s polar bear territory, each voyage blends rare cultural encounters with the wild beauty of the High Arctic. In the Canadian Arctic, explore Inuit hamlets like Pond Inlet and Kimmirut, Zodiac cruise among walrus and polar bears in the Lower Savage Islands, and marvel at the seabird cliffs of Monumental and Lady Franklin Islands. Sail iconic passages like Prince Christian Sound and Scoresbysund, stand in awe before glaciers at Ilulissat and Eqi, and, weather permitting, land on elusive outposts such as Jan Mayen or Bear Island. Along the way, expect unforgettable wildlife moments—from beluga gatherings and walrus haul-outs to the thrill of spotting polar bears on the ice.
