Having previously travelled to Antarctica, I was thrilled to get the opportunity to go on an Arctic cruise and properly understand the difference between the two destinations.
You can always do research, but that doesn't compare with experiencing somewhere first-hand, and the trip has made me feel much more confident selling the Arctic to my clients.
One of the biggest differences for me was the wildlife. In Antarctica, it's very easy to spot penguins, seals – even whale pods – while cruising. The joy of the Arctic is that you’re on the search for the wild.
