One of the most awe-inspiring experiences a traveler can have is witnessing the breathtaking and dramatic spectacle of an arctic journey. Now, travelers looking to experience this firsthand can rely on award-winning adventure travel company, Gap Adventures, to lead the way.

The company has recently announced its new partnership with cold-weather apparel maker Canada Goose to create Canada Goose Adventure Tours, providing exploration-loving travelers a unique opportunity to experience some of the farthest flung regions of the globe in style.

With an average group size of about 10 participants, Canada Goose Adventure Tours are led by historians and naturalists who shed light on awe-inspiring natural phenomena such as the Aurora Borealis.

Introducing globetrotters to the intriguing people, dramatic landscapes and unforgettable wildlife of the Arctic and Antarctic regions, Canada Goose Adventures offer voyages to a wide range of countries including Canada, the United States, Argentina, Sweden and Finland.

The tours give travelers the opportunity to warm up to some very cool accommodations including igloos and ice hotels, all while sporting a Canada Goose parka as a take-home reminder of their fantastic foray onto the frozen Polar tundra. Those Canada Goose adventurers who sail to Antarctica on specific departures in March 2011, aboard the Gap Adventures ship, the M/S Expedition will receive an even more unique souvenir – a Canada Goose parka designed in conjunction with Gap Adventures’ crack team of cold-weather designers.

“Canada Goose Adventure Tours are a truly creative addition to our already strong repertoire of Polar tours,” said Bruce Poon Tip, Gap Adventures Founder. “This cutting-edge partnership offers our loyal travelers the chance to step into the cold and experience the best in sustainable, authentic tourism in ways they could once have only imagined.”

With prices starting at $3569 (Canadian) per person, participants can embark on an 11-day Patagonia Winter Activity Week, as well as  unforgettable adventures such as a six-day Norway High Arctic Adventure, the six-day Polar Bears, Dogsledding and Aurora Borealis adventure across Canada’s Great White North. The trips atre highly-customizable, with amazing flexibility built-in to suit a broad spectrum of traveler preferences and budgets.

These exhilarating cold-weather expeditions also feature a host of breathtaking activities including snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice climbing and tundra buggy polar bear viewing.
