The best time for an Arctic cruise is during summer months - typically June through August when ice melts enough allowing ships passage into remote areas.
Arctic cruises often set sail from ports such as Longyearbyen or Tromsø in Norway, Reykjavic in Iceland or Kangerlussuaq in Greenland. However, your departure port will depend on your chosen itinerary.
A journey to the Arctic can range anywhere from $2.5k for budget trips up to $30k (or more) for luxury expeditions including flights and extras.
An Arctic cruise varies in price, but expect to pay between $2.5k-$25k. The cost depends on factors like trip length, ship amenities, and cabin selection.
