As independent agents, we at Polartours don't have any ties to specific operators. We won't shy away from giving you recommendations based on your interests, fitness level, budget, or age.
Currently, more than 40 different vessels are operating expedition cruises in the polar regions. Each ship has its own philosophy. Some try to venture as far into untouched areas as possible, others focus on whale-watching, and some follow a "base camp" approach, where the ship mostly stays stationary but offers a lot of activities. The key to identifying the best option for you is to find a polar expert who understands your wishes and can advise you on the best routes and ships for your needs.
A good place to start planning your trip is by scheduling a free video consultation with us. Alternatively, you can also write us a message (scroll further down).
