Why Should Your Guests Join Us for an Arctic Summer? | Travel News
The Arctic becomes most accessible for exploration during the last week of June through the first week of July. The midnight sun provides continuous illumination during this special period which enables travelers to explore the untouched wilderness while capturing stunning photographs and finding peace in nature. The Arctic environment remains shaped by pack ice which enables humans to reach isolated areas where polar bears and walruses continue their natural behaviors on floating ice platforms. Wildlife reaches its highest activity level during this time because migratory birds take over the sky while whales perform breaches in frozen waters and seals flourish during the endless summer illumination.
Ortelius and North Spitsbergen Explorer
For those eager to witness this spectacle aboard a true expedition vessel, the Ortelius Expedition Ship provides the perfect platform. The vessel allows explorers to access remote areas through its ice-reinforced structure and its design which centers on exploration activities at Spitsbergen’s pack ice and Weddell Sea.
The North Spitsbergen Explorer provides an extraordinary eight-day experience which includes Zodiac boat trips and wildlife picture taking and kayaking and camping activities under the guidance of naturalists who specialize in this sensitive environment.
