Arctic cruise holidays

Steppes Travel is pleased to announce the availability of Arctic cruise holidays to the Norwegian, Icelandic, Canadian and Greenland regions of the Arctic. The trips are carefully planned to coincide with the months offering most sunshine and maximum birdlife in the colonies and travel aboard a small ice-strengthened vessel, accommodating a maximum of forty-eight people, ensuring a very personalised expeditionary experience and ease of logistics on landings.

The Spitsbergen, or Svalbard trip is epecially interesting – this is considered to be one of the places in the High Arctic to see wildlife. Although it is almost as big as Ireland, Spitsbergen has a population of less than 3,500 people in five ‘townships’ meaning the vast bulk of the territory is unspoilt, and offers wonderful opportunities for those seeking a combined wilderness and wildlife adventure. Steppes’ Arctic Cruises set sail from June onwards, and prices start at £1675. All Steppes Travel consultants have first hand and in-depth knowledge of all the countries they cover.
