| Arctic Kingdom Polar Expeditions is delighted to be a NEW Preferred Supplier to Virtuoso. |
I am thrilled to announce that Arctic Kingdom Polar Expeditions – the only high-end, land-based Polar Expedition company in the world – is proud to be the latest preferred supplier to Virtuoso.
“To be able to accommodate everything from a fully outfitted expedition to the North Pole to an African safari-type luxury mobile camp within meters of narwhals at the floe edge is something that boggles the mind” says Andrew White (Chief Experience Officer) who just recently returned from Virtuoso’s “Travel Mart” in Vegas where he introduced Arctic Kingdom to hundreds of Travel Agents for the first time.
Headquartered in Toronto, most of Arctic Kingdom’s experiences are within a 3-4 hour flight north of Ottawa.
“We intentionally guide people comfortably & luxuriously out of their comfort zones – it’s an emotional experience that I can guarantee will become a life-long memory.”

| ARCTIC KINGDOM |
Arctic Kingdom Polar Expeditions Inc. is fiercely dedicated to creating authentic and awe-inspiring trips to the high Arctic, we are the only company in the world to offer land-based travel experiences and special interest trips for individuals and small private groups. We know the Arctic like no other company and love to share it. Upscale and exclusive, we offer both scheduled trips (set departures) available to anyone and custom expeditions for clients such as Disney, National Geographic, the occasional world-renowned polar explorer and of course, discerning travellers. Our group sizes are small – from 4-12 fellow adventurers. (Any Inuit guide will tell you that a larger group size compromises your ability to feel and see what the Arctic has to offer.)“Arctic Kingdom – the world’s leading company for managing complicated logistics in the North”

Scheduled Trips – Set Departures
A scheduled trip has a fixed date, fixed itinerary and fixed price where you can join a group of up to 12 fellow adventurersPrivate and Custom Trips
A private trip is any trip that is not open to the general public, it therefore has a flexible departure date.
There are three types of private trips:
- Block Trips: a block trip is a private trip based on any of our scheduled itineraries, the easiest way to block a trip is to simply take over an existing departure date for your group.
- Private Adventures: these are set itineraries that have been pre-planned and run before. Starting prices are based on a minimum private group size of 4-8. While the core architecture of these trips is fixed, tweaking and customizing them can easily be accomplished – see our website for a long list of Private Adventures that include: dog-sledding, skiing, hot air ballooning, a helicopter flight to see Polar Bear dens and cubs, catching arctic char, snorkelling with whales, or building (and sleeping in) an igloo above the Arctic circle.
- Private Family Trips: this concept is simple; take one of our trips (scheduled or private) and let us weave-in enriching opportunities for kids, teenagers and adults. There is nowhere like the Arctic, where elders are revered and respected, to bridge a generation gap and create life-long memories.
Custom Expedition Planning
If you can imagine it, we can make it happen. We can do for you what we do for National Geographic, Disney, the military and world-renowned polar explorers. Whether your dream is a full-on expedition to the North Pole or simply (or not quite so simply) to hot air balloon over it, video an elusive Greenland shark, or dive an Arctic shipwreck, we can make it happen. The possibilities are as wide open as the north. |
