One of the most fun activities to take part in on an Arctic Cruise, particularly for younger travellers and families, is dog sledding. Ensure you visit out of the summer months when there is more snow coverage for the ultimate sledding experience. Feel more at one with nature and wildlife as you sample this traditional and exhilarating mode of transport in the wilderness.
It wouldn’t be a visit to the Arctic without delving into the heart of the ancient native communities which have called this region home for thousands of years. The Inuit and Norse cultures are most well-known, and their ways of life have been shaped by the landscape, climate, and relationship with the Earth. On your cruise, enjoy a cultural learning experience, sample indigenous food, and take part in native arts and music workshops.
Of course, one of the most incredible natural sights in the world is the phenomenon that is the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. Visit the Arctic in the darker winter months for a better chance to see the lights in all their glory as the night stretches for up to 20 hours with just a few glimpses of daylight.
