Arctic Circle
One of the remotest and least explored destinations on the planet, the Arctic Circle is packed full of rich, breathtaking experiences. Covering nearly 4% of the Earth’s surface, the region is brimming with glaciers, icebergs, and snow-white islands, with colorful indigenous settlements nestled by its palatial fjords, and unique and diverse wildlife and marine life thriving in its vast expanses. Expedition ships take you to one of five awe-inspiring destinations beyond the Arctic Circle. Greenland offers a stark landscape teeming with animals as well as indigenous settlements on the West Coast. Spitsbergen and the Svalbard archipelago are the ‘land of the midnight sun’ with near-continuous daylight in the summer, and boast polar bears and rich history and heritage. In the Canadian High Arctic, stunning, rugged scenery and icy channels await you, once traversed by legendary explorers seeking a route to Asia. In contrast, the Russian High Arctic is steeped in history, where you can visit Soviet-era expedition centers and some of the Arctic’s remotest archipelagos. Then there’s the North Pole at the very top, reachable only by nuclear-powered icebreakers, a bucket-list destination like no other! No matter which part of the Arctic you visit, expect unparalleled diversity and adventure.

What Our Guests Say
“We had a wonderful experience with Enchanting Travels. The planning is excellent, and we never had to deal with unexpected problems. We will be excited to go on our next Enchanting Travels adventure.”
September 2023 Rating 5/5
“This was my second trip with Enchanting Travels. It is such a wonderful experience. Relieves much of the stress of functioning in a foreign country.”
December 2023 Rating 5/5
“From start to finish, working with Enchanting Travels allowed me to be bolder in planning a family vacation this year. As a solo adult traveling with children, having a team available to support me in the planning and execution of the trip made the experience feel more approachable. It also allowed me to build on their knowledge of the area instead of the area.”
August 2023 Rating 5/5
“Our contact Elena, responded right away to any questions we had. The sky lagoon experience was great. Our hotel accommodations in the middle of the city was within walking distance of everything.”
March 2023 Rating 5/5
“The Iceland trip was great. Great itinerary with great excursions and nice hotels. Breakfast included really is nice. Ben, trip support coordinator, was accessible and helpful.”
March 2023 Rating 4/5
“As the kids have grown into adults, time together is harder to find so being able to establish a shared agenda with common interests was fantastic. As noted, we wanted to see Iceland in the winter and experience the Northern Lights, while making the most of the short time we had. The experience and expertise of Enchanting Travels helps make that possible and the care and attention of Divya makes it as close to a worry-free experience as possible.”
