Our Nordic Trips

Our recommendations for you as Polar Specialists

Exploring the Arctic on a Nordic Cruise is an extraordinary adventure, and we’re here to help you make the most of it. Here are our top recommendations for an unforgettable experience:

When to Visit?

Quark Expeditions - Arctic
  • Svalbard: Visit between late April and early August to catch the Polar summer. During these months, you'll experience the midnight sun and have a higher chance of spotting polar bears and other wildlife.

  • Greenland: The best time to visit is during the summer months of June to August when temperatures are milder and the midnight sun illuminates the landscape, offering long daylight hours to explore.

  • Iceland: Summer (June to August) is ideal for warm temperatures and extended daylight, perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities. For the Northern Lights, plan your trip between September and March when the nights are longer.

What type of cruise to choose?

Ocean Albatros Arctic and Antarctic Cruises

Size Matters! We recommend opting for smaller boats for a more intimate and immersive experience. Smaller vessels can access remote areas and fjords that larger ships cannot, offering a closer connection to the pristine Nordic environment and allowing for more personalized service.

What can you do on board a Nordic Cruise?

Alpine Kayaking

Your Nordic adventure offers a variety of activities to enhance your journey. Here’s a taste of what you can do:

  • Kayaking: Glide through waters and get up close to icebergs, wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes in a kayak.

  • Long Walks: Enjoy guided hikes and across stunning terrains, from icy glaciers to rugged coastlines

  • Zodiac Boats: Take thrilling excursions on Zodiac boats to explore ice-filled waters and reach hard-to-access spots.

  • Polar Plunge: For the adventurous, take a brave dip in the icy Arctic waters!

Polar Bears

Spotting polar bears is one of the most thrilling highlights of a Nordic cruise. For the best chances of encountering them, venture into areas where sea ice is prevalent, as polar bears rely on these ice floes to hunt seals, their primary prey.
