Explore Untamed Landscapes

Embarking on an Arctic cruise is to set sail through a tableau of breathtaking vistas. The Arctic Circle, wrapped in an ethereal light that shifts from day’s glow to night’s dance of the aurora borealis, captivates intrepid travellers. Here, untouched wilderness stretches as far as the eye can see. Towering glaciers, majestic icebergs, and snow-capped mountains create a backdrop of serene beauty, painting the horizon with shades of blue and white.

These Arctic cruise packages offer intimate encounters with the natural world. As your ship navigates the frigid waters, you might spot pods of beluga whales gliding gracefully, or watch as a polar bear prowls the icy expanse. Seabirds soar above, their calls echoing through the chilled air, completing the enchanting soundscape.

Delve into Indigenous Cultures

No Arctic vacation package would be complete without delving into the region’s rich cultural tapestry. The Arctic is not only home to awe-inspiring landscapes but also to vibrant Indigenous communities with histories as rich as the land upon which they dwell.

Travellers can visit Inuit villages, learning about their resilient way of life and traditions honed over thousands of years. Engage with local artisans to discover the stories woven into intricate beadwork and handmade crafts. This cultural immersion adds depth and humanity to your Arctic adventure, making each encounter and every story a new facet of the Arctic narrative.

Savour the Flavours of the North

Culinary experiences in the Arctic are as unique as the land itself. The flavours of the North are robust, defined by locally sourced ingredients and traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. Seafood lovers can relish freshly caught Arctic char, while those seeking warmth can indulge in savory reindeer stews.

Your Arctic cruise may also include a taste of Indigenous cuisine, providing an authentic culinary lens into the area's heritage. Sample dishes that speak of survival and celebration, encapsulating the relationship between the people and their environment.

Practical Travel Tips for Arctic Journeys

  • Timing is Key: The best time to embark on Arctic cruises is during the summer months, from June to August, when temperatures are milder and wildlife is more active.
  • Pack for the Weather: Layers are your friend. With temperatures fluctuating and the wind often biting, thermal wear, water-resistant clothing, and insulated boots are essential.
  • Go with Professionals: Opt for reputable Arctic cruise packages to ensure safety and enriching experiences. Guided tours often include expert naturalists and historians who can provide insight into the region's ecology and history.
  • Capture the Moments: Don’t forget to bring a good camera. From the mesmerizing hues of a midnight sun to the raw magnificence of glacial formations, the Arctic offers boundless photographic opportunities.

Global Connections, Personal Adventures

By choosing Arctic vacation packages, travellers not only explore one of the world's last great wildernesses but also connect with a larger global narrative about climate change and conservation. The Arctic is a bellwether for environmental shifts, and witnessing its splendour first-hand fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of our planet.

As you set your compass northward, embrace the vastness of the unknown and the prospect of discovery. Whether you're tracing the path of early explorers or charting your own course across the icy seas, the Arctic holds stories written in ice, waiting to be unveiled.

Feel the pulse of the Arctic beneath your feet, the stories told by the winds, and the resonance of a land that defies convention and invites exploration. This is more than a destination; it's an invitation to adventure, reflection, and connection. Your Arctic journey beckons — are you ready to answer the call?

Many think the Arctic is always dark and frozen, but summer brings 24 hour daylight and surprisingly mild coastal temperatures. It’s not just ice, it’s tundra, wildflowers, and vibrant communities.

This is an excellent tour agency that provides an excellent, all inclusive safari experience in South Africa, especially in the renown Kruger National Park. The agency will provide a very detailed, day-by-day itinerary of the trip, which, for the most part, describes exactly the order of activities that a customer will experience from start to end of the reserved trip. Our safari trip included a hotel pick-up in Cape Town in the beginning of the safari trip and drop-off at the end of the trip. Flights to and from either Johannesburg or Mpumalanga airport are included. We reserved a 3-day safari trip which included an afternoon safari the first day, a full day safari the 2nd day, and a morning safari the 3rd day. The lodge where we stayed was very clean with modern and convenient accommodations, including WIFI and breakfast. The guides are well trained and very knowledgeable about all animals we came across during our trip, and were also very courteous, polite and easy to engage in conversation. They made our safari trip exciting but safe! I would highly recommend this safari tour agency. Christos Patriotis

I had an amazing trip. It was more than I could have expected. I got to see everything I wished to see while I was abroad. All the guides were lovely and provided me with excellent knowledge on their cities/tours. Especially in China where it was their holiday week and they all took time away from their families to make me around their cities. The tour company in Japan made sure I got to every tour destination and knew what the plan was for each day. This is the second time I have used Goway for traveling and it has exceeded my expectations. katieahotmail.com

We just returned from a 2 week tour of South Africa, Zimbabwe(Victoria Falls) and Botswana, and had a fabulous time! This was the third tour I've used Goway, and as usual, it was such a positive experience! The accommodations that were booked were awesome! The hotels were luxurious, clean and the staff, all so warm and welcoming! Our travel agent, Vanessa Lloyd, did a fabulous job arranging everything, and was always available to answer my many questions! We'll be using them again, next year when we take a family trip to the Greek Islands and Turkey! They are always consistent in the quality of the hotels and experiences, and I highly recommend them for your travel needs!Fran Nitta Barnes

We are still on our journey in Italy. At Capri now and heading to the Amalfi Coast. So far, we can’t thank Goway enough for putting our itinerary together so quickly. Everything is going well and hope the next 10 days are perfect too. Gladys Vivian

Can't say enough good things about Goway Travel. From the very start, our travel rep, Harpreet, listened carefully to what we were hoping to see and do on our first trip to Japan. She asked great questions and then came back to us with a detailed itinerary packed with adventure and fun, and all within our travel budget. From the moment we took off from LAX, Harpreet had made sure we had every tour voucher, hotel voucher, plane ticket, train ticket, literally every detail covered. All we had to do was follow our itinerary. Also, Harpreet booked us into terrific hotels. Each one was spotlessly clean, comfortable, included a full (and delicious) breakfast and, most importantly, was centrally located to all of the activities she had planned for us. So everything was a 5 or 10-minute walk away. In three weeks' time we were able to visit six cities and so many fascinating shrines, temples, castles, imperial palaces - most of which were World Heritage sites. Harpreet also tucked in fabulous "experiences" like learning how to make sushi with a professional chef, enjoying a tea ceremony and watching graceful Geishas dance. My husband and I are seasoned travelers. But we don't speak Japanese and we really knew very little about the country. There is no way we would have been able to see and do all of the fascinating things we did in Japan if we hadn't chosen Goway Travel to be our guide. Many thanks for an unforgettable trip!

Great country (Italy), great people and love the feel you get by just being you. Ingrid Aird did a great job with a pair of tours one private and one group. Organizing pickup from airport and flights. Hotel, Enterprise Hotel, after a bit of a rough start getting us into a proper room, was more than excellent.Thomas Helps

We were looking forward to a magical vacation in Greece, and Goway Travel delivered on all fronts. This is the second time that we have booked with them (the first being an incredible excursion in Thailand), and everything went along swimmingly. Only on one occasion did a tour go sideways, but our Goway specialist (Patrick) took care of it for us. When your tour involves many flights, numerous hotels, various tours, ferries, and transfers, it is nice to know that your travel specialist can handle it all. Goway (from Patrick to all the other staff involved) handled everything in such a professional manner. Thanks Goway for such an incredible experience in Greece. I look forward to another adventure in the near future!Jenny Friess

We recently returned from France - three cities in two weeks - and our trip was fantastic! Jacqueline helped us with a return to France with no worries and concerns. Drivers met us at every destination- hotels were superb and the individual tours memorable. This is a return vacation with Goway and we could not be more pleased. The customer service is top notch and all questions answered promptly. For us seniors, we appreciate all the thoughtfulness and consideration.ElizaGray

While researching suppliers for a clients Thailand honeymoon, I remembered being referred to GoWay by a longterm TA ….because they “get it right and get it done!” I had already started their training modules, so I put in a quote. Immediately, Taylor responded with a very thorough email and we decided to chat. I gave him my specifics and he again responded immediately and matched my client’s travel needs 100%. I found it comforting to speak with a country expert with the knowledge I needed. My clients booked their vacation and are very excited about their itinerary! Thank you Taylor for making this process seamless.Karla B
