Visiting The North Pole

It's only possible to travel to the North Pole by ship during June and July. Outside of these months, you can consider travelling by plane and helicopter, or by the hauled-sled route. Ask our specialists for more details on your options.

Typically 16 days in length, excluding travel days to and from your start and finish point in Paris. Days at sea are jam-packed full of lectures, time spent getting to know your fellow adventurers, and opportunities to gain valuable insights from your specialist expedition leaders. You'll also be looking out for wildlife, getting off on zodiac excursions, and preparing yourself for reaching the North Pole.

Cruises to the North Pole cost from USD $45,000 per person, depending on which cabin category you choose.

With only a small number of North Pole trips each season, you are strongly recommended to book early, approximately 12 to 18 months in advance. 

The average temperature during the summer months is 32°F (0°C), and the atmosphere is dry and the sun remains low in the sky. However, the weather in the Arctic is hugely variable, and it's worth being prepared for all eventualities so that you can be sure you'll still enjoy your trip if the weather turns.
