What It Takes to Be an Arctic Guide
Our superstar guides power our expedition-style cruises to the Arctic and beyond.
But what does it take to be a guide to the most remote, delicate, and wild environments on the planet?
This micro documentary by Secret Atlas looks into becoming an Arctic guide, exploring the character traits and skillset you need to lead unforgettable adventures in the Arctic, year after year.
Sure, there are qualifications to become an Arctic guide (all our Secret Atlas guides have them, of course!), but what do you need beyond the certificates and plaudits? It’s time to live that Arctic guide life…
Secret Atlas Expedition Micro Cruises explore the polar regions with the smallest group sizes available – and the best guide-to-guest ratio. This is nature at its unfiltered, undiluted, transformative best.
If you are considering travelling to Svalbard, East Greenland, or elsewhere in the Arctic, go on a genuinely small ship cruise with Secret Atlas. Get in touch to book your polar expedition and unlock the secrets of the wildest places on Earth.
