FAQs about 2027 Cruises to Arctic
What is the best month to cruise to the Arctic in 2027?
The best time to cruise to the Arctic in 2027 is during the Arctic summer—June, July, and August. These months offer milder temperatures, extended daylight hours, and optimal conditions for wildlife viewing, glacier exploration, and cultural encounters. Aurora Expeditions schedules its Arctic voyages during this season to ensure the most immersive and comfortable experience.
How far in advance should I book an Arctic cruise?
Booking early is highly recommended for Arctic 2027 expeditions, especially if you’re planning to travel during the peak summer months of June, July, or August. To secure your preferred itinerary, cabin type, and departure date, we suggest booking 12 to 18 months in advance, as voyages often sell out quickly.
How long is a typical cruise to the Arctic?
Arctic cruises with Aurora Expeditions in 2027 typically range from 8 to 30 days, depending on the itinerary. Each voyage is thoughtfully designed to showcase the region’s glaciers, fjords, wildlife, and cultural heritage. For specific durations, refer to the detailed itinerary of your chosen expedition.
We have 3 different ports that we use for our expeditions in the European Arctic: Longyearbyen, Reykjavik & Aberdeen.
The cost of an Arctic cruise with Aurora Expeditions varies depending on factors such as the duration, stateroom type and specific itinerary. Prices typically start from US $10,000 per person. These expeditions offer an extraordinary journey into the pristine Arctic landscapes, showcasing icebergs, wildlife and unique cultures. See our Arctic Expeditions for more information on the experiences that await you.
For an Arctic cruise with Aurora Expeditions, pack essentials such as warm, layered clothing, including waterproof outerwear for varying weather conditions. When onboard, dress is informal usually consisting of jeans or casual trousers, and light long-sleeve T-shirts or jumpers.
Each passenger aboard our Antarctic expeditions will receive an expedition jacket when they board the ship. However, you’ll need to ensure you pack the correct cold and wet weather gear for your landings, including gloves, a hat and thermal undergarments for added warmth. A good quality pair of binoculars, a camera and extra batteries are essential for capturing Arctic wildlife and landscapes. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a reusable water bottle are practical for sunnier days. Check out our polar expedition packing list for more information.
