Our Cruise Holiday Destinations

Greenland

See Greenland for yourself and you’ll have nowhere to compare it to. Where else can you view a constantly shifting glacial landscape amid towns that are pushed to the extremes of a vast landmass linked only by ship or air. Our luxury holidays to Greenland ensure that you’ll uncover the true Greenland and its people.

Iceland

Iceland’s environment is remote, exposed and unpredictable. Around 14% of the country is covered by glaciers and lakes, while only one quarter of the land is vegetated, making logistics, timing and local knowledge essential to travelling well. Luxury in Iceland is defined by access, comfort and experts who know the country inside out. Our private guides and experienced drivers will allow you to safely travel through variable conditions, while carefully selected accommodation provides warmth, privacy and recovery after long, adventurous days outdoors. Itineraries are designed to adapt to the ever-changing weather, daylight and road conditions, ensuring each day is both achievable and rewarding. Often referred to as the Land of Fire and Ice, Iceland sits astride the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, and at approximately 20 million years old, it is Europe’s youngest island. Experiencing this landscape on a luxury holiday to Iceland means travelling with specialists who understand how to navigate its isolation and rapid environmental shifts, whilst igniting your senses by exploring the country your way.

Norway

Norway feels mighty in a way few European destinations do. Mountains rise straight from the sea, glaciers carve deep fjords into the coastline, and nearly two-thirds of the country is mountainous. From the Arctic wilderness of Svalbard to the colourful harbours of Bergen, every region offers a new perspective on the North. Luxury holidays in Norway are defined not by excess, but by access. Experience fjord-side lodges overlooking icy water, remote Arctic retreats beneath the Northern Lights, and beautifully designed hotels in Oslo where Nordic culture thrives. The real luxury is space, silence and extraordinary terrain just outside your door. Enjoy world-class hiking, kayaking, skiing, and wildlife watching in pristine environments. Norway is a year-round destination. It offers opportunities to witness the midnight sun in summer, the Northern Lights in winter, and everything in between. From the Arctic North to the southern coastline, every corner of the country invites discovery and exploration.

Svalbard
Christine Baglo / Visit Norway

Svalbard is a true Arctic frontier—raw, untamed, and breathtakingly remote. Between mainland Norway and the North Pole, this isolated archipelago is home to fragile ecosystems and iconic wildlife, including the mighty polar bear. For travellers planning a holiday to Svalbard, its a destination for every season, Svalbard invites bold explorers to follow in the footsteps of past adventurers. In summer, sail through glacier-carved fjords to reach places few have seen. In winter, race across the frozen tundra by snowmobile or dog sled beneath the dancing Northern Lights. This is Arctic adventure at its purest.
