Arctic Cruise
Svalbard, Greenland and the pack ice: the Arctic as an expedition aboard a small ship.
Midnight, and the sun still stands above the horizon. The ship drifts slowly along the edge of the pack ice when something stirs on a floe: a polar bear that lifts its head and looks across at us before moving on. It is silent, save for the faint crackle of the ice. In the Arctic you feel just how far you are from everyday life.
The far north is a world of ice, light and distance. Svalbard, barely a thousand kilometres from the North Pole, is the realm of polar bears, walruses and towering bird cliffs; from Longyearbyen you sail into the fjords and out to the edge of the pack ice. Greenland goes a step further: Disko Bay, where icebergs as large as city blocks drift out of the fjord, together with the brightly painted wooden houses of Nuuk and Sisimiut. Many voyages end in Iceland, in Reykjavík and its volcanic landscapes.

The Arctic can be reached only aboard expedition ships, small and ice-strengthened, with naturalists and Zodiacs on board. Ponant and Silversea sail here in expedition style and bring you to anchorages no large ship can approach. The season is short, from June to September, with the midnight sun at the height of summer. The voyages run from barely a week to three weeks; the classic circumnavigation of Spitsbergen lasts around twelve nights.
