DISCOUNT ARCTIC CRUISES

 

 
It's cruise ships like the wonderful Polar Pioneer that will take you on the Arctic cruise of a life time. Secure, safe and comfortable they are specifically designed to do the job and do it well!

Are you one of those they that has dreamt of going to Arctic? Have you finally decided now is the time for you to go before Global Warming wreaks havoc on the unique Arctic environment? If you one of those, then read on.

Greenland

The land of misnomer, Greenland boasts the earth's second largest icecap. Leviathan-sized icebergs float by majestically, their path ineluctable as they channel through their pre-destined course through Scoresby Sound & the Greenland Sea, just south of the frozen Arctic Ocean.

Stark, barren mountains views greet you, brilliantly snow-covered and majestic geological structures arising from the white landscape. The cruise will take you into the ice pack and through the Arctic air to seek pristine isolated beaches rarely seen by anyone on earth, bar the endemic Inuit, who for centuries have eked out a unique & sustainable lifestyle in this rugged and unforgiving environment.

You'll be delighted as you seek from a safe distance Polar Bears, Arctic foxes, Puffins, seals & walrus populations.

Iceland

Settled by the Vikings centuries ago, Iceland affords you absolute perfection at the beginning or provides you the perfect final destination on three major Aurora Arctic cruises.

You’ll be afforded the opportunity to take in the vistas of magnificent arctic volcanos as they vent steam, lava and sulphurous gases from their active volcanic craters. Hot springs abound as do enormous icecaps, thunderous waterfalls, and calming, soothing peace of the natural spas.

Norway

The wonderful fjords of Norway beckon you. You are ensconced in an environment of pristine beauty, white glorious ice, snow holds the surreal capacity to completely overwhelm you as you cruise this Norwegian paradise. What the Vikings of old fell in love with awaits your arrival too - whales at sea, resplendent aromatic spruce scents fill the pure clear crisp air.

Untold numbers of ornithological delights await you as thousands upon thousands of sea birds fill the air, their cries of joy resonate through the atmosphere as they swirl above your cruise liner.

Spitsbergen

Located in the Arctic about 1/2 way between Greenland and the far North Pole is the wondrous Spitsbergen archipelago. Warmed slightly by the nearby Gulf Stream flows it nevertheless provides you with the most outstanding vistas of some of the most significant glacial formations in the world.

Two thirds of the land is glacial, these awesome formations slowly but inextricably working their way to the sea. Reindeer wander through the abandoned Whaling stations of old surviving in an Arctic environment that threw out long ago humankind.
