Experience Luxury and Adventure on Exclusive Arctic Cruises

Update Discovering the Arctic: Cruising to the Edge of Adventure As the world becomes more interconnected, the allure of the Arctic continues to spark curiosity among travelers seeking unique experiences. COMO Hotels & Resorts is back in the spotlight, unveiling two new Arctic cruise expeditions for 2026 that present a sumptuous blend of adventure and luxury. These new cruises offer a rare chance to delve deep into stunning frozen landscapes, surrounded by nature’s wonders and a very select group of friends. Exclusivity Redefined: A Luxurious Experience Guests of COMO's cruises will embark on a journey aboard the M/S Polarfront, a converted Norwegian weather ship designed specifically for intimate gatherings. This vessel accommodates just 12 guests, ensuring that each experience is tailored to the needs of a close-knit group. While enjoying the Arctic’s breathtaking vistas, passengers will have the opportunity to cozy up in spacious suites, engage in onboard lectures, or simply savor the clean, crisp air of the polar frontier. Two Seasons, Two Unique Experiences The 2026 Arctic itineraries promise two distinct seasonal themes that capture the essence of the Arctic at its best. Early summer offers travelers a surreal landscape filled with dominant sea ice and endless daylight, creating an ethereal atmosphere where guests can revel in nature's beauty. As summer fades into autumn, the expedition in September showcases the mesmerizing phenomenon of the Northern Lights, lighting up an otherwise serene night sky, offering an unforgettable experience for all onboard. Engagement with the Wild: A Deep Dive into Nature For those craving adventure, these expeditions are filled with Zodiac excursions, guided landings, and opportunities to observe incredible wildlife. Sightings of polar bears, walruses, and Arctic foxes are just a few highlights awaiting curious explorers. With seasoned expedition leaders steering the experience, every traveler will be well-prepared to learn about the unique ecology and sustainability efforts that are pivotal to preserving this pristine environment. Wellness and Gourmet Dining: The Best of Both Worlds Catering to both wellness enthusiasts and food lovers, COMO’s Arctic cruises include onboard sauna sessions and specialized treatments by expert practitioners. For those who take pleasure in good food, the culinary offerings boast an East-meets-West fusion of locally sourced ingredients unified with COMO’s signature culinary style—certain to indulge even the most refined palates. Enjoying gourmet meals while surrounded by awe-inspiring landscapes adds another layer of enchantment to the trip. Unforgettable Costs: Is It Worth It? The experience comes at a price, with rates starting around $3,100 per night for single occupancy, but for a luxury adventure like this, many may consider it worth every penny. Inclusive of a pre-expedition stay and a gourmet dinner, the journey promises to be an investment in memories that will last a lifetime. Take the Leap: Join the Adventure Overall, COMO Hotels & Resorts’ new Arctic cruises invite a limited number of adventurous souls into a world few will experience. Offering not just a trip, but a connection with the wild, these excursions promise to be both exhilarating and exclusive. So why wait? Gather your closest friends and prepare for an adventure that challenges the ordinary. The magic of the Arctic awaits, ready to offer the experiences and stories of a lifetime!
