Group Travel | 18 Days

- National Geographic Explorer, a comfortable ship with lectures and presentations by expert guides

We journey to the Arctic to see a pristine wonderland of jaw-dropping land-, ice-, and sea-scapes where Mother Nature reigns supreme. We go to observe wildlife, from Arctic hares and foxes to polar bears, seals and walruses, in their natural habitats. We go to hear stories of explorers and to meet Inuit communities. And although reaching the Arctic is no small undertaking, going aboard the National Geographic Explorer ship makes the adventure as safe, comfortable, informative, and fun—as easy as it can be.
