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.

His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication make my job as a travel advisor so much easier. I truly appreciate everything Allan does and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional service. Thank you, Allan, for always being thereBrooke Echols

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
