Expedition Micro Cruise: Magical Arctic Exploration with Secret Atlas

Explore the Arctic on a micro cruise, reaching remote fjords and glaciers with expert guides and rich wildlife encounters.
• 2:31 min Svalbard

Arctic exploration is made possible with our Expedition Micro Cruises.

Explore remote fjords and glaciers, and maybe if you are feeling brave, take a dip in the icy water while sailing the Arctic, discovering wildlife, and learning about sailing techniques.

Highlights of the Arctic Expedition Micro Cruises:

  • Spectacular Arctic Scenery: Witness the majestic landscapes of the Arctic, from towering glaciers to expansive sea ice.

  • Arctic Wildlife Encounters: Keep your eyes peeled for polar bears, walruses, and a myriad of seabirds in their natural habitat.

  • Access to Remote Locations: Navigate deep into fjords, narrow channels, and ice-filled waters that larger vessels simply can’t reach.

  • Flexible, Conditions-Led Itineraries: Daily plans adapt to weather, ice, and wildlife activity—allowing the expedition to follow the Arctic at its own pace.

  • Time Ashore Where It Matters: Longer landings and Zodiac cruises offer space to observe, photograph, and absorb the environment without rushing.

  • Expert Expedition Team: Travel alongside seasoned polar guides, naturalists, and crew with deep local knowledge and a strong respect for the environment.

  • Quiet, Low-Impact Exploration: A smaller onboard footprint means less disturbance to wildlife and a more intimate experience of the Arctic’s silence and scale.

  • Designed for Curious Travellers: Ideal for photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, and those who value observation, storytelling, and meaningful time in wild places.
