About Arctic
Picture yourself standing on the ship deck gazing out over the rapidly-changing Arctic Ocean. You spot a polar bear, the king of the Arctic, through your binoculars so the captain swings the ship closer for a better view. Explore the distinct blue of Arctic fjords by water, then disembark to walk through tundra wildflowers. Inhale the invigorating, pure air of the far north. Encounter a grazing herd of prehistoric-looking musk oxen gathered around their young, backlit by the midnight sun. Drift near a huddle of walruses, aka tooth-walkers, hauled out and basking on an ice floe. Cheer on juvenile thick-billed murres as they follow their fathers on their first cliff jump into the sea. Examine tabular icebergs the size of skyscrapers and keep always on the lookout for whales. Connect with cultures finely attuned to living in these northernmost climes for millennia. Share stories, photographs, and camaraderie with your shipmates over dinner, exclaiming over the day’s adventures. Return home an exhilarated and inspired ambassador for this crucial, fragile landscape.
