We've put together this collection of cruises and tours that feature Norway's fjords at the center of their itineraries, because no tour of Norway is complete without witnessing it renowned fjords. Featuring long and narrow inlets that form between towering rock cliffs, fjords are a staple part of any polar expedition. Along the way, you will spend time navigating through these channels in your cruise ship, but you will also have time to enjoy their dramatic presence from the unique vantage point of kayaks and even explore the glaciers themselves by foot. These natural wonders are unlike anything else in the world! They are also an ideal habitat for classic Arctic wildlife such as musk ox, walruses, and a variety of marine life.

The info on the website was laid out very well. I did some comparisons with other tours and found Adventure Life met a lot of what I wanted in an Antarctica trip at the cheapest price. Requested a quote on Claudia contacted me right away. She answered a lot of questions the I had via email even though she offered to discuss via phone call. I’m more of an email person so appreciated how she accommodated that and answered all my questions. And when I was ready to book, she quickly got the ball rolling with getting our spots reserved on the trip my friend and I wanted. Thanks again, Claudia!

(1) great information on the website and throughout all the "materials." (2) Jane Packer is great: knowledgeable, responsive, takes a personal interest and tone, seems to care about the customer as a person not a sale.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
