Since its first North Pole icebreaker expedition cruise in 2001, Poseidon Arctic Voyages has been leading expeditions into the Russian Arctic on its chartered icebreakers and expedition cruise ships. In the time that has passed since this first expedition cruise, Poseidon Arctic Voyages has been the market leader in Arctic-bound adventure tourism. In moving to the forefront of the adventure tourism industry, we at Poseidon Arctic Voyages are justifiably proud of our reputation as having helped to open up Russia's magnificent and awe-inspiring Arctic territories, much of which are still virgin and unexplored. Today, Poseidon Arctic Voyages is credited with operating the only expedition cruises to Franz Josef Land archipelago and with having opened up and developed the spectacular, not to mention unique, Transpolar Bridge route from Murmansk to Pevek by way of the North Pole and back again. Poseidon Arctic Voyages is also responsible for having organized special expeditions to some of the most remote and untamed lands found in the Russian Arctic. Our expert guides have led expedition cruises to such faraway places as the archipelagos of Novaya Zemlya and Severnaya Zemlya as well as to the islands of Vaigach, Oranskiye and Vise. They have been responsible for bringing to life the no-less-than-stunning landscapes of Russia's northern continental coastline and for taking their expedition ships to the edge of Kamchatka and on to the Commander Islands and have even ventured out to the Ring of Fire to lead expeditions to Kuril Islands. With experience like this, it is easy to understand how Poseidon Arctic Voyages has established its unique and enviable market position today as being first, best and most authoritative in organizing adventure cruises to destinations in the Russian Arctic and beyond. True adventure awaits you with Poseidon Arctic Voyages. 


Travel broadens the mind and widens our horizons or so the old cliché goes. Yet, despite the triteness of this expression, we at Poseidon Arctic Voyages firmly believe that there is no better way to see the world and experience all that it has to offer than by taking an expedition cruise. And nowhere on Mother Earth can the excitement of a new experience be any greater than by taking a voyage into the Arctic or even beyond, by braving the polar ice cap to reach the North Pole. We say this not just because this region is one of the most remote and extreme on the planet but because sadly it is disappearing at an alarming rate. Since 1980, the polar ice cap has been retreating and along with it the delicate Arctic habitat that is home to some of the most endangered flora and fauna on Earth. Polar bears, arctic foxes, walruses and seals and snow owls are only a few of the species native to this wild, untamed land. A land so varied that it can be covered by ice so white it looks blue or with a carpet of mosses and lichens the colors of which would stir the imagination of even the most seasoned of artists. An expedition voyage to the Arctic or beyond is a sense arousing, heart-opening experience that touches the very soul of all who have ever ventured into this unique domain where beauty, silence, and awe all intermingle to create an image so intense it brands itself into the mind forever. So if this sounds like the opportunity you've been looking for, then contact us at Poseidon Arctic Voyages. You bring the imagination, and we'll supply the adventure. Next port of call - the Arctic!
