Three Arctic Islands: Spitsbergen, Greenland and Iceland SOUTHBOUND Named one of the 50 Tours of a Lifetime by National Geographic Traveler , this voyage offers the best of the eastern Arctic in one voyage.

There’s something for everyone: polar bears, walruses, muskoxen, local culture, ancient Thule settlements (predecessors of the Inuit), hikes along the glacial moraine and tundra, and more. Nature is the tour guide: Sea, ice, and weather conditions will affect your flights and trip itinerary. Embrace the unexpected.
