Description
Few Arctic cruises combine such a winning variety of wildlife and scenery. Joining our North Spitsbergen voyage (including Kvitøya and the 82nd parallel north) with our Spitsbergen-to-Greenland aurora borealis trip, this fantastic union of the Arctic’s most beautiful islands offers an unparalleled polar experience.
