9 Day Polar Pursuit: Epic Arctic Adventure
Premium Private Guided Tour
Two empires live inside of Norway, the glacier-carved fantasyland perched between northern Europe and the Norwegian Sea: the winter kingdom, blanketed in snow, and its summertime rival, a short-lived domain of green meadows warmed by the Midnight Sun. This exclusive Explorers Club Collection winter edition experience invites you discover Norway’s northern Finnmark region, preserve of the Sami people, before pushing further into pure Arctic bliss, with a mutli-day snowmobile experience in the snowy Svalbard peninsula. Please note, the travel window for this journey mid February to end of April.
With the winter’s fresh snow upon the land, there’s no better way to begin than a dogsled taxi ride to the storybook Snowhotel in Kirkenes, a frosty bucket list experience where you’ll sleep in a room built entirely of ice and snow. Head out onto the ice on a private snowmobile-assisted fishing trip for the revered king crab, then take a dogsled out into the wilderness to witness the fascinating natural ballet of the northern lights. Next, embark on a multi-day snowmobile experience as you journey into the Arctic Circle to Svalbard, a vast archipelago of indescribable remoteness and unspoiled natural beauty. With an eye on the horizon for polar bears, you’ll stay at the remote Isfjord Radio – a radio station transformed into an exclusive boutique hotel – from where you’ll snowmobile out to the rim of the west coast, embracing the Fritjof Glacier, as well as Barentsburg, an isolated Russian mining town. The experience concludes in Olso, the stylish Norwegian capital, where you’ll learn Viking history at the Viking Ship Museum and dig into the city’s food culture at the indoor food hall Mathallen Oslo.
