Arctic
Labeled ultima Thule (“farthest land”) by ancient geographers, the lands and seas of the far north were once unpassable. Using expedition ships and icebreakers, our expeditions present travelers with the opportunities to view Arctic wildlife, seabirds, whales, polar bears; encounter indigenous peoples who carve out a living at the ends of the habitable earth; and attain destinations long sought after by a succession of polar explorers, such as the North Pole and Northeast Passage.
|  | | Polar Bear Quest: A Voyage through SvalbardDeparts: July 5, 2011 During our luxury Arctic cruise the magical light of summer shines on Norway’s scenic coastline and the wildlife-rich wilderness of Spitsbergen. Brightly painted towns and vertical cliffs veiled in lacey cascades call to the camera while millions of seabirds—kittiwakes, shags, fulmars, and puffins—call this natural paradise home. Pristine land- and icescapes await us in Spitsbergen and numerous Zodiac excursions bring us up-close to whales, seals, and beaches covered with hauled-out walrus. During our eight days in Svalbard, we keep a lookout for polar bears along ice-fringed shores. | |  | | Northwest Passage: An Arctic AdventureDeparts: August 22, 2011 Be a part of Arctic adventure travel history on the Russian icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov’s 17th and final transit of the Northwest Passage. This remarkable 23-day Arctic expedition offers the best of western Greenland and the Canadian and Russian Arctic and provides countless opportunities to observe and photograph stunning scenery and Arctic wildlife, including polar bears, walruses, seals, and seabirds. In addition, our Arctic expedition team will provide valuable insight into the great explorers who have navigated this northern sea route, including Sir John Franklin’s ill-fated quest. |
