North Pole

The ultimate Arctic expedition is a journey to the geographic North Pole. Follow in the wake of polar explorers Robert Peary, Frederick Cook and Roald Amundsen who fought to achieve the elusive goal of reaching the northernmost point on the globe. North Pole cruises will spend multiple days cruising through the pack ice, searching for wildlife and gazing out into an endless frozen world on your way to 90 degrees north.

This destination is not easy to access as there are only a few ships that have the ability to break through the thick Arctic multi-year pack ice. Stand out on deck in awe as you witness one of the most powerful ships in the world hard at work. 

Once at the Pole, guests will have the opportunity to spend the day out on the ice, conditions permitting. You may even have the chance to take a polar plunge at the top of the world! This is an epic adventure for any goal oriented traveler looking to get as far north as possible. 

Most North Pole cruises start in Paris with a charter flight to Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen where guests embark the ship and begin the journey north.
