We use & recommend Viator.com otherwise search online & call us if you need help. Or just rent a taxi/pushbikes/tour/charter from the wharf when you berth, often the best value but be among the first ashore!
Keep in mind that if you go it alone and something happens like the taxi/bus breaks down and you end up being late back to the ship it will not wait for you unless it is advised. On the other hand if it is a ship-booked tour there are no problems as they are in contact with the tour companies.
The Arctic welcomes around one million visitors annually. The Arctic region is an ocean surrounded by continents, bounded by Canada, Greenland, Norway and Russia, and populated by polar bears, walruses, whales, seals and Arctic birds. Easiest access is by cruise to Norway (north of 66.56 deg.lat.): to 13 ports on the fjord-lined mainland, and six sites in the Svalbard Archipelago lying midway between mainland Europe and the North Pole. (Some vessels round North Cape and reach three sub-Arctic ports of Russia.) Recently, 17 ports lining Baffin Bay have drawn tourists, in West Greenland and Canada’s Nunavut islands. And now, with the retreat of seasonal sea ice, a dozen ports along the North-West Passage line the sea route between the Atlantic and Pacific. Other ports in ‘the land of the midnight sun’ include Norway’s Bear Island and Jan Mayen Island.
Large ships with 1000 to 3000 passengers offer typically 12 to 18-night round-trip cruises out of northern European ports to the Arctic ports of continental Norway, Norway’s islands further north, and the northern ports of Russia. Choose from a dozen ships of nine large cruise lines. The smaller upmarket vessels of Azamara, Crystal, Seabourn, Oceana, Ponant, Silversea and Regent Seven Seas all visit the Arctic; also, the new luxury larger ships Scenic Eclipse and Viking's Sun and Sea. Ponant’s L’Austral and Le Boreal specialise in polar regions.
From June through September stand on an outside deck at midnight and take selfies with the Sun low on the horizon. When the weather is ideal, view the Aurora Borealis. At least seven lines reach furthest north to Longyearbyen. Nautica and Seven Seas Navigator visit three sub-Arctic Russian ports. Arctic Greenland is on itineraries of MSC Orchestra, Scenic Eclipse, and Seabourn Quest. The specialists though are Ponant’s L’Austral and Le Boreal, which make serious explorations of Baffin Bay and the Northwest Passage. Also, a number of small luxury ships built to reach the Geographic North Pole will appear in the next two years.

Featured Arctic Cruise Ports
Longyearbyen Longyearbyen lies on the river Longyearelva on the Norwegian Island of Spitsbergen high in the Arctic. It is the world’s northern-most town, as all settlements further north are research or meteorological outposts. The modern town, fringed by abandoned mining detritus, enjoys a superb backdrop including two glacier tongues, Longyearbreen and Lars Hjertabreen. The small community of about 2,000 has developed from being a mining community into a community with a number of businesses and industries and a wide range of cultural activities and opportunities. The main attraction is communing with nature where seals, walrus, polar bears, whales, and seabirds abound, and photographing the midnight sun. |

Tromsoe Tromsoe, the home of the famous Northern Lights, is situated a mere 2000 km from the North Pole, on the same latitude as Northern Siberia and Alaska. Most visitors are surprised by the prominence and sophistication of this fascinating port. On offer are high-quality theatre, arts and music, which contrast with the boundless and vast wilderness surrounding the city. The city centre contains the largest number of wooden houses in northern Norway as well as the oldest house. The Arctic Cathedral, a daring piece of architecture that symbolises the ice packs of the Arctic, provides an interesting contrast. |

Honningsvag Honningsvåg, Norway, lies deep within the Arctic Circle at 71 deg.N. latitude, on the island Magerøya. Twenty-two km north of Honningsvåg is North Cape, the northernmost part of mainland Europe. Magerøya connects to the mainland via the 6.87km North Cape Tunnel. Honningsvåg is an ice-free port of call for cruise ships. The sky is illuminated by the midnight sun in summer and Aurora Borealis may appear in winter. The island has a silent, rugged beauty that surrounds you. Standing on the continent’s edge on the North Cape Plateau is quite an experience, reindeer roam freely on the hulking granite cliff rising from icy seas. |
