Arctic Ocean Travel Agent Cruise Specialist

As an Arctic Ocean travel agent specialist for cruise vacations, I can tell you that this form of luxury travel is both exciting and memorable. The Arctic area and the Arctic Ocean include places, such as Alaska, Norway, and Canada. The region is not confined to one discrete section, such as North America. Therefore an Arctic cruise may lead you to towns and sites that are part of the countries that border this glacial ocean, including Russia, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, and the U.S. Because the distance between countries can be vast, the Arctic itself defines an area in the world, above the north latitude of 66 degrees, where the sun does not rise during the winter solstice nor sets, as usual, during the summer solstice.  This results from the sun's height in this location. Permafrost describes the Arctic region as a place where the ground will not thaw for two consecutive years straight. A tree line definition qualifies that much of the arctic is treeless.  However, just because some places may seem austere, you can see beautiful wildflowers in the spring and witness amazing Arctic animals, such as the polar bear, elk, and whale. The temperature does not rise above 50 degrees in any month during the year, but the people in many places are warm and friendly, and when you are dressed properly, the lower temperatures can be quite refreshing. Historically, this part of the world drew many hunters, explorers, scientists and anglers. Trips or tourism started about 200 years ago, first growing slowly, until steam ship travel and railways, in the nineteenth century, encouraged travel. Today, cruising the Arctic or visits to the region are popular vacations, as people not only enjoy luxury accommodations, they can really explore a land like none they have seen before. Many people who take Arctic vacations also include activities, such as snowmobiling, hiking, white river rafting, skiing, and mountaineering to their list of pursuits. Cruising the Arctic Ocean also gives travelers the opportunity to connect with nature on a whole new level. For anyone who loves wildlife and nature, I often encourage an Alaskan cruise in the Arctic Ocean. Alaska is also a great place to flight-see, hunt, fish, and hike. Canadian trips can also be arranged where you can see polar bears, comfortably, from a warm and protective tundra vehicle or from the cruise ship. Part of cruising in the Arctic also concerns the lights in the sky. While Inari and Nordurland stand out as outstanding locations for seeing the Aurora Borealis, Svalbard, Norway is recommended for seeing the Midnight Sun. That is why it is important, as your travel advisor, that I know when you wish to plan a cruise and your specific likes and preferences. Ships are stabilized so you can embark down polar passages and see the North up close. The Arctic is a one-of-a-kind frontier, one that you can see and discover by booking a luxury cruise.
