Arctic Cruises
3 current voyages to The Arctic & Greenland
The Arctic summer opens a coastline that is closed for most of the year. Greenland's fjord systems, Svalbard's pack ice and the fabled Northwest Passage are all reachable between June and September, when the light barely leaves the sky.
Wildlife is the draw: polar bears working the ice edge, walrus, Arctic fox, and seabird colonies that number in the hundreds of thousands. Landings depend on ice and weather, which is exactly why these itineraries are flexible by design rather than by accident.
The voyages below are operated by Noble Caledonia aboard ice-strengthened, small-capacity ships. Dates, fares and availability reflect their current published programme.
