What’s the difference between an Arctic expedition cruise and a regular cruise? We’re taking you into the Arctic to show you what makes an expedition cruise so different — from navigating through sea ice to getting up close with incredible wildlife by Zodiac boat. On our Arctic expedition, we experienced whales, walruses, seals, seabirds, glaciers, sea ice and unforgettable Arctic landscapes. But the wildlife was only part of what made this trip different. In this video, we’re breaking down what an Arctic expedition cruise is actually like, including: 🐋 Arctic wildlife encounters with whales, walruses, seals & seabirds 🧊 Navigating through ice on the expedition vessel 🚤 Exploring the Arctic by Zodiac boat 🏔️ Getting up close to glaciers and remote landscapes 🌊 Crossing the Denmark Strait 🥾 Wet landings vs. traditional docked landings 🚢 How expedition cruising differs from a traditional cruise ❄️ What makes Arctic expedition cruising such a unique travel experience We partnered with Poseidon Expeditions for this Arctic adventure, and their phenomenal expedition team made the experience even more special.
