Every Polartours booking includes one complimentary hotel night before your polar expedition cruise begins. This is not a promotion, not a limited offer, and not available elsewhere. No other polar cruise marketplace includes this as a standard benefit.
We include it because arriving calm, rested, and on time materially improves the start of your expedition.
Reduced Travel Risk: Polar expedition cruises do not wait. If a flight is delayed and you arrive late, the ship departs without you. Arriving the day before eliminates the single biggest risk to your trip.
A Better Start: Starting a multi-day expedition should not begin with airport stress and last-minute transfers. One night ashore creates buffer, predictability, and peace of mind.
Time to Explore: Polar cruises often depart from culturally significant cities. Arriving early gives you time to see at least a small part of the destination instead of flying in and sailing out immediately.
Supporting Local Communities: Using local hotels supports destination-based businesses and aligns with our preference for slower, more deliberate travel rather than short, high-stress stays.
Included: One complimentary hotel night per passenger, automatically included with your booking
Timing: Always the night immediately before cruise departure
Room allocation: We aim to mirror your onboard cabin setup (for example, doubles, triples, family groupings), subject to hotel availability
Hotel selection: Hotels are pre-selected by Polartours. There is no hotel choice, substitution, or voucher alternative
Already included itineraries: If your cruise already includes a pre-cruise hotel night, no additional night is added
Availability: If the planned hotel is fully booked, a comparable hotel of similar category and location is provided.
This benefit is designed for reliability, not flexibility. It exists to protect your trip, simplify logistics, and improve your overall experience.
Including a hotel night increases cost and operational complexity. We include it anyway because it reduces failure points and improves outcomes for travelers.
This is not a promotion and not time-limited. It is a standing Polartours commitment.
