Svalbard (late April–early August, 2026) Travel in the Polar summer for midnight sun, stable landing conditions, and the strongest chances of polar-bear sightings alongside walrus, seals, and bustling bird cliffs.
Greenland (June–August, 2026) Milder temperatures and long daylight hours showcase monumental fjords and icebergs. Late summer often brings richer evening light and increased whale activity.
Iceland (June–August, 2026) Extended daylight is perfect for coastal circuits, seabirds, and active shore excursions. Note: Northern Lights are a shoulder/low-season phenomenon (September–March) and generally fall outside most cruise windows.

Size matters. For a more intimate, immersive expedition in 2026, choose smaller boats. They access narrow fjords and remote shorelines larger ships cannot, move guests ashore faster, and typically offer more personalized guiding. When comparing ships, focus on ice capability, Zodiac capacity, guide-to-guest ratio, and the activity program that matches your interests.

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.
