Born out of our love of exploration, North Pole Cruises was created by Founder Andy Marsh to share our polar adventures with others. We've travelled to the planet's most remote and untouched places and want to share that with you.
That’s why we made it our mission to offer the best collection of expert-led expedition cruises that we have experienced ourselves. Not all expedition cruises are equal, and that is where our expertise comes in to help you plan your cruise. With decades of combined polar experience, our team has visited Svalbard, Greenland, the North Pole, the Norwest Passage, and Antarctica. So, we are fully equipped to plan your once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Â
Our Experience
Andy founded North Pole Cruises after expeditions to Svalbard, Antarctica, South Georgia, and Greenland, where the polar bug bit him. Twenty expeditions later, Andy and the team have the extensive firsthand experience needed in the polar regions to ensure we give you the best advice to help you plan your cruise.
