18 3 Arctic regions, infinite experiences Extensive access to the Arctic with pioneering expertise VENTURE INTO THE SVALBARD ARCHIPELAGO Welcome to the High Arctic. A deserted, other-worldly archipelago full of rugged mountains, towering ice caps, immense glaciers and plunging fjords. Sailing 80 degrees north, depending on conditions, you may find yourself anywhere from 600 to 400 miles from the North Pole. The stillness creates a tranquillity unrivalled anywhere else. There’s nothing like suddenly hearing chunks of ice break off a millennial glacier while floating on the icy sea. Look out for walruses, whales breaching the icy water and the King of the Arctic – the mighty polar bear. GO BEYOND THE EXTRAORDINARY IN GREENLAND Explore the world’s largest island and meet the warm-hearted people who live in such isolated places as Sisimiut and Ittoqqortoormiit. Our intimate ships go where others can’t, such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ilulissat where you’ll see the Kangia Glacier and one of the largest ice fjords creating ‘bergs that drift into the bay. The wildlife is diverse, and you may see whales, seals, Arctic foxes, wild reindeer, puffins and possibly even shaggy muskoxen. The surrounding waters provide rich habitats for many species, offering you once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to see these incredible creatures. FOLLOW FAMED CANADIAN ARCTIC EXPLORERS Follow in the footsteps of famous explorers to fantastical fjords, fierce wildlife and fractured lands in Canada’s far north. Sail the Northwest Passage to islands few have seen, witnessing wonders and hearing unearthly sounds. Our ice-class ships take you deeper into the beauty of these remote locations in unparalleled comfort, while our experts show you luminous icebergs, majestic barren landscapes, and perhaps even a polar bear or two roaming the land. Join us on a voyage of discovery you’ll be recounting for years to come.
