1 Unforgettable Ice Landing

On one of our Svalbard  cruises, we didn’t just reach the ice edge — we walked on it! After finding a stable floe, guests had the rare thrill of stepping onto the Arctic Ocean itself. And to top it off, our bar team served champagne right on the ice — a perfect toast to an unforgettable polar moment! 🥂

2 Cruises to the British Isles

Our Arctic season began with two unforgettable voyages to the British Isles  . Starting in Portsmouth and sailing north to Edinburgh — and even farther — we visited remarkable places like Bass Rock, Staffa, the Isle of May, the Orkney Islands… It was a perfect start to the season, full of wildlife, history, and dramatic landscapes.

10 Crew Shows!

On every cruise, our amazing crew puts on a show that quickly becomes a highlight of the voyage! With lively songs and dances, it’s impossible to stay still — passengers join in, laughter fills the Oceanus Lounge, and the energy turns into an unforgettable party at sea!

11+ Polar Bears in a Single Day!

“That was a memorable day, first 6 bears, awesome views on one side of Kvitøya  and later 11 on the other side. Even with the new rules, staying a minimum of 300m away, it was great. The conditions were superb, so perfect for using the long lens,” – as recalled by one of our guests.

200+ Polar Plungers

This season, over 200 fearless guests (so far) took the plunge   into icy Arctic waters — a true test of courage and a highlight of their voyage. Cheers to everyone who made this unforgettable polar adventure even more thrilling!
