Luxury Arctic Cruise
Luxury Arctic Cruise
You can experience the adventure of travel in the Arctic without compromising on comfort when you take a luxury Arctic cruise.
For many travellers, sailing on a basic expedition ship is part of the Arctic holiday experience and you can find a ship with the level of comfort you expect. However, there are also many travellers who prefer to take one of the luxury Arctic holidays which are offered by well-known luxury cruise operators, who combine all the main aspects of a bona fide expedition with the comforts and standards of service of a top cruise ship.
Luxury Arctic Cruise
A small number of partner companies of Arctic Bound such as Silversea, Ponant and Hapag Lloyd offer such luxury Arctic holidays. Silversea operate their specialist expedition ship, the Silver Explorer and the crew and standards on board match the so-called ‘six star’ standards of service they pride themselves on on board their larger cruise ships. This includes in-suite butler service, complimentary beverages and silver service. On a Silversea luxury Arctic cruise, there are expert lecturers and guides, zodiac landings and the small ship camaraderie, so the expedition experience is not compromised.
Le Boreal, operated by the French small ship operator, Compagnie du Ponant is one of the few luxury expedition vessels afloat. Luxury Arctic holidays on Le Boreal come with the style and ambience of a private yacht along with gastronomic French cuisine and the highest standards of service. Again, your luxury Arctic cruise includes guides and zodiac landings. Language on board is French and English and Ponant is one of the few cruise lines at this level that welcome children on board.
Well known in shipping and cruise circles, Hapag Lloyd is an established German cruise line with two specialist expedition ships, the Bremen and the Hanseatic. The Hanseatic operates a number of itineraries for luxury Arctic holidays throughout the summer. These include Greenland, Iceland and northern Norway. Five star service and excellent and varied food combined with true expedition experiences. German and English are the languages on board and we always receive excellent feedback from customers who take a luxury Arctic cruise on either of these ships.
