What to wear in the Arctic
It's important that you have everything you need before you set off for the Arctic. Read our advice on what to pack in order to be fully prepared for your adventure.
Passports
Make sure that you have a valid passport to travel internationally. Some countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after you get home. We need your passport information to get everything ready for your adventure and it’s important that the information on your booking matches your passport exactly.
For peace of mind, we recommend carrying a copy of the photo page of your passport and leaving a copy at home with family or friends.
Visa applications
Your nationality and the countries you are travelling through on route to the Arctic will influence whether you need to apply for a visa or not. Unless you are travelling through Russia, full visas are generally not required (although Canada does require an eTA).
We highly recommend you contact us or visit CIBT Visas to check what you need for your trip.

Swoop says
If you are travelling to the Arctic for longer than 90 days, visa requirements will change. Make sure you check the right requirements for the length of your trip.
