The Arctic, Properly Done: Greenland and Svalbard by Luxury Expedition
Some journeys are about arrival. The Arctic is about perspective.
Greenland, Svalbard and the high northern seas sit beyond the familiar map of luxury travel. This is a region of scale, silence and elemental beauty: glacial fjords, polar wilderness, ice-strewn waters, remote settlements and wildlife that belongs to one of the world’s last great frontiers.
In 2027, Silversea’s Arctic and Greenland expedition programme offers a rare opportunity to experience this world with both depth and discretion. These are not conventional cruises. They are small-ship expedition voyages for travellers who want to go further, understand more and still return each evening to the comfort of a refined, all-inclusive luxury ship.
The difference lies in the combination. Expedition expertise opens the landscape properly: its wildlife, geology, history, ice conditions and fragile ecosystems. Silversea’s onboard experience then brings the day back into balance, with elegant accommodation, personal service and the calm assurance expected from one of the leading names in ultra-luxury cruising.
For guests travelling from the UK and Ireland, the logistics are also more considered. Selected journeys include charter flights and transfers to and from Copenhagen, alongside a premium hotel stay in the Danish capital. For a destination that can otherwise feel complex to reach, that matters.

Why the Arctic now?
The Arctic is not a destination to leave indefinitely on the “one day” list.
It rewards travellers who have already seen much of the world and are now looking for something more arresting. Not busier. Not louder. More profound.
This is travel for people who understand that true luxury is not always found in excess. Sometimes it is found in remoteness, expertise, space and access to places that still feel genuinely beyond the ordinary.
A well-planned Arctic expedition can be one of those journeys that recalibrates everything else.

Lomond Voyages view
The Arctic should not be sold as another cruise. It deserves better than that.
Handled well, it is a landmark journey: remote, intelligent, beautifully serviced and quietly transformative. The right itinerary depends on what matters most to you, whether that is Svalbard, Greenland’s west coast, wildlife, photography, ice, geology, culture or the simple desire to travel somewhere that still feels untamed.
Lomond Voyages can help assess the best route, ship, suite category and timing, and secure access to the current Silversea Travel Partner offer where applicable.
