The Arctic

When to Visit

It depends which Arctic you want. For polar bears, walrus, seabird cliffs and the midnight sun, sail between late May and early September. For the Northern Lights you need darkness, so travel between late September and late March. The two seasons do not overlap, and no single trip delivers both.
