Russie

Suggested duration

8 days / 7 nights

Ideal periods

February to April

The spirit of the journey

Due to the international situation, journeys to the Russian Arctic are currently suspended.
Thank you for your understanding.


The White Sea is one of the best places in the world for diving. Part of the Arctic Ocean basin, it is the only sea in Europe that freezes every year. Summer is very short, with ice forming as early as October and not melting until May.

The environment here has remained pristine, sheltered from human presence, and its wildlife is correspondingly rich and distinctive. With a bit of luck, you may even witness remarkable displays of the Northern Lights.
