What It’s Like to Sail Across the North Atlantic to the Arctic

There’s a distinct kind of thrill that comes with venturing into the far north—watching the world around you transform from emerald coastlines to snow-draped horizons.

The journey traces ancient sea routes that once guided explorers, scientists, and storytellers alike. Today, travelers aboard modern expedition vessels get to experience the same blend of mystery and majesty—crossing shifting latitudes that tell the tale of the North Atlantic’s diverse marine world.
