Environmental Focus and Sustainable Travel Trends in Polar Tourism
A growing number of companies in the polar travel sector are prioritizing eco-friendly tourism practices. This trend includes the adoption of environmentally responsible microships-small vessels designed with sustainable technology such as low-emission engines and eco-conscious materials-to reduce environmental impact while delivering personalized travel experiences.
For example, in January 2023, UK-based travel firm Secret Atlas introduced the MV Vikingfjord, a micro polar expedition cruise vessel that offers exclusive small-group Arctic journeys for up to 12 passengers. These tours focus on minimizing ecological footprints and promoting sustainable tourism in fragile polar regions. With expert guides, travelers can immerse themselves in remote Arctic landscapes, observe wildlife, and take part in nature-driven adventures. The MV Vikingfjord features nine en suite cabins, a spacious salon with rear-facing windows, and amenities including a hot tub and sauna located on deck.
