Correspondingly, how do you get to the Arctic Circle?
Getting to the Arctic
- Flying is the most popular and quickest way to get to the Arctic.
- Ship operators mainly use charter flights, often included in the cost of your trip.
- Getting to the Arctic by boat is only possible for a few months each summer, with routes starting in either Scotland, Iceland or Norway.
Additionally, can anyone go to the North Pole? Though inaccessible for most of the year, it is possible to travel to the North Pole in June and July when the ice is thinner, or in April if travelling via helicopter. All North Pole voyages start and end in Helsinki, Finland, from where you'll fly by charter plane to Murmansk, in Northwest Russia to board your ship.
Keeping this in consideration, can you visit the Arctic Circle?
The Arctic Circle spans over 9,000 miles. Some of the easiest places to visit include northern Canada, Alaska, and northern Greenland. Your guide will likely choose your route for you, but if you know you want to visit say, Greenland, choose a company that specializes in this portion of the Arctic.
How much does it cost to go to the Arctic?
From about USD $3,000 for a cruise place in a twin cabin, (triples may be available for less) this does not include the price of air fare and other associated costs to and from your point of embarkation and return. There are many price points up to USD $50 000 and even beyond.
