COMO Hotels and Resorts, renowned for their exquisite hospitality, are once again setting sail for the magnificent Arctic, following the resounding success of their previous sold-out expedition. In partnership with Natural World Safaris, the esteemed hotel group has unveiled plans for two exclusive luxury cruises scheduled for May and September 2026, offering unparalleled opportunities to explore the Earth's northernmost reaches. These highly anticipated voyages will take place aboard the M/S Polarfront, a meticulously converted Norwegian weather ship, ensuring an intimate and personalized experience for a maximum of twelve discerning guests across its seven elegant suites.

The 2026 program presents two distinct Arctic encounters, each tailored to showcase the region's unique seasonal splendor. The first journey, from May 13 to 23, invites adventurers to witness the untouched beauty of early Arctic summer, characterized by expansive sea ice and the ethereal glow of 24-hour daylight. The second expedition, from September 13 to 24, offers a contrasting yet equally captivating experience as summer transitions to autumn, with the added allure of the Northern Lights gracing the twilight sky. Both cruises, departing from Longyearbyen, Svalbard, promise an immersive exploration of fjords and remote islands, providing exceptional opportunities to observe iconic Arctic wildlife such as polar bears, walruses, reindeer, Arctic foxes, and whales in their natural habitats. Beyond the captivating scenery and wildlife, guests will enjoy daily Zodiac excursions, expert-led landings, and engaging onboard educational programs covering ecology and sustainability. A holistic wellness program, featuring a specialist bodyworker, sauna, and hot tub, complements the adventurous spirit, while a curated culinary experience, drawing inspiration from COMO's global properties and emphasizing fresh, local ingredients, ensures every meal is a delight.

These exclusive Arctic journeys epitomize a commitment to providing extraordinary travel experiences that combine luxury, adventure, and a deep appreciation for nature. By offering intimate access to one of the planet's most pristine environments, COMO Hotels and Resorts encourages a profound connection with the wilderness, fostering a sense of wonder and respect for our natural world. Such expeditions inspire us to cherish and protect these unique ecosystems, reminding us of the profound beauty and delicate balance that exist in even the most remote corners of the globe, while enjoying the comforts and refinements that make for truly unforgettable memories.
