Superyacht owners planning on visiting the Arctic now have a specialised agent to assist with navigating this challenging environment. Arctic Kingdom Polar Expeditions, based in Toronto take the pain out of visiting one of the most remote, yet pristine environments on the planet.
As the world becomes smaller and more overly explored, AKPE seek to find new destinations that inspire, offering a sense of discovery. There aren’t many of these places left on our Earth. The vast Arctic region definitely fits the bill, with thousands of miles of untouched coastline, valleys and fiords, exquisite scenery and exotic wildlife encounters, such as the great white polar bear. But what really makes this region special is that it’s just you there, among all this untouched, raw beauty.

They know the people, the places and the secrets of the Arctic regions to create expertly crafted itineraries tailor made for their clients.
