Bespoke expeditions combining untamed wilderness with COMO’s signature wellness and culinary excellence
Following its successful 2025 debut, COMO Hotels and Resorts is delighted to announce the return of its exclusive expedition, COMO Journey: Into the Arctic, with two extraordinary journeys to the edge of the earth scheduled for May and September 2026.
In partnership with Natural World Safaris, specialists in remote, wildlife-rich destinations, this once-in-a-lifetime journey offers discerning travellers the rare opportunity to explore the pristine wilderness of the Svalbard Archipelago aboard the seven-suite M/S Polarfront - a former Norwegian weather ship transformed into a boutique Arctic expedition vessel.
Each unforgettable expedition blends COMO’s signature elements - COMO Shambhala wellness, nutritious COMO Cuisine, and exceptional service - with the raw beauty and wildlife of the Arctic, guided by a team of seasoned experts.
Step into a world of endless light and icy grandeur. This early-season voyage offers a rare glimpse of the Arctic at its most pristine, where dramatic sea ice dominates the landscape and wildlife stirs into action. Guests will have the opportunity to witness polar bears patrolling the floes, walruses basking on drifting ice, and seabird colonies erupting in sound and flight. Bathed in the glow of the midnight sun, this expedition is ideal for those seeking the Arctic in its rawest, most elemental form.
As the Arctic transitions into autumn, this late-season journey reveals a softer, more colourful side of the polar north. Sea ice recedes, opening new paths for exploration, while whales breach more frequently and the tundra blazes with autumn hues. Reindeer and Arctic foxes roam the shoreline, and the darkening skies may unveil the ethereal dance of the Northern Lights. This expedition is perfect for those who prefer milder temperatures, longer shore landings, and the chance to witness the Arctic’s vibrant seasonal transition.
COMO Journey: Into the Arctic redefines expedition travel — seamlessly combining thrilling exploration with COMO’s signature hallmarks. The 10-night May 2026 expedition starts from £23,000 (single occupancy) or £39,000 based on two sharing a Polarfront Suite and includes 1 night pre-expedition in Longyearbyen.
The 2026 Arctic Journeys go on sale from 25 August 2025. To book or for further information visit: https://www.comohotels.com/como-journey-into-the-arctic
