Highlights: Discover the north eastern part of Eurasia (Chukotka) in a way that has never been possible before. On this voyage we cruise across the Arctic Circle through the Bering Strait and into the Arctic sea. It will be mid summer with 24 hour daylight and the ice will have retreated. On shore you will meet the Chukchis, who have learnt how to live in one of the harshest environments on the globe. You will see an abundance of wildlife, many of the species are migratory, coming here only to breed, but for others like the polar bear, walrus, and reindeer this is their home. We plan four days at Wrangel Island, a world class Nature Reserve, which is often referred to as the 'Polar Bear Maternity Ward'.
