What Polar sailings feel like

Rarer, more dramatic and more about the sense of journey than a classic warm-weather cruise.

• Best for: repeat sailors, scenery lovers and proper bucket-list planners
• Port style: remote-feeling coasts, scenic passages and less standard routing
• Sea days: medium to high, depending on route
• Weather: cool to cold, with conditions that can change fast
