Arctic Group Tour Discounts

Just like with most things in life, buying in bulk can lead to significant savings, and Arctic cruises are no exception! Operators are often eager to offer group travel discounts to fill their cabin inventory quickly, especially as the departure date approaches.

If you’re planning an Arctic adventure with a large group of friends, society members, colleagues, your extended family, or even other families, we highly recommend contacting our Arctic specialists. They can check if any special group discounts are available for your specific needs. These discounts often vary based on group size and departure date, and are typically at the discretion of the operator on a case-by-case basis.

How Much Can I Save?

Typically the largest savings are found by booking ten or more months in advance of the upcoming season, with operators often offering early booking incentives of around $1,000 – $1,500 per person (approximately 25% – 35% off), with discounts reducing the closer you get to a departure.

Occasionally you may see considerably higher markdowns on rare occasions when private charters cancel their sailings last minute.
