Polar Regions

All trips we offer to this region are in comfortable vessels, lodges or camps that ensure you get the maximum from your experience and involve guides that are specialists in polar navigation. These guides will have a general itinerary to follow but may use their discretion to alter the route, with the safety of their guests as top priority and a large focus on the wildlife of the regions. Both the geography and the climate of these polar areas can be unpredictable and the landscapes are continually shifting and evolving as Mother Nature intended, which requires some flexibility on the course of the expedition.

The Arctic regions lie at the northern extremity of the earth, a place where survival hangs in the balance and some of the world’s most resilient animal and plant life can be seen. Largely off bounds for a proportion of the year, expeditions depart during the months of July, August and September when the sea ice melts sufficiently for vessels to explore the pathways with under perpetual daylight, visiting indigenous Inuit communities in Arctic Canada or Century-old European settlements in Svalbard. Prepare to witness the King of the Arctic, the polar bear, enjoying its favourite haunts.
