Arctic Travel and Destination Guide

- The Western Arctic (Canada)
The vast region of the North Atlantic and the Arctic conjures up images of sparse and inhospitable snow covered lands, however when summer arrives this region springs forth in a colourful display of life. While both Antarctica and the Arctic are home to a rich variety of marine species, only an Arctic cruise will reveal the eclectic mix of cultures, a plethora of blooming wild flowers and an abundance of fascinating land animals. Every cruise to the Arctic yields a unique experience drawn from a variety of unforgettable encounters with the wildlife and peoples that call this region home.
