Voyage to the North Pole
An Unforgettable Expedition to the Top of the World, the North Pole!
Boarding our nuclear-powered icebreaker in Murmansk, Russia, we’ll venture northward to the ultimate expedition prize: the North Pole.

This thrilling expedition is made possible by our unique ship and a specially designed helicopter which allows us to view the pack ice from a rare and beautiful vantage point.
