9. Best Northern Europe & Polar Tour Operator 2024 - Germany its most untouched form. Every day offers new opportunities to discover the polar regions.” He continues, “The company’s goal is to become the market leader for these small cruise ships in the D-A-CH (D – Germany, A – Austria, CH – Switzerland) region within the next year.” “With Arktis Tours, I have realised a lifelong dream and rearranged my stars!” Making everything that Arktis Tours does possible is an exceptional, experienced team who demonstrate a genuine zeal for each destination and type of travel on offer. Ingo explains, “Heart and soul, passion, and enthusiasm must be present as a foundation, because we can teach and impart specialist knowledge. New employees must be passionate about creating special, unique travel formats and have a strong understanding of the uniqueness of the destinations, cultures, and ecosystems. After new employees are hired, they receive indepth training and take part in numerous trips in order to gain personal experience and later incorporate this into advising our customers.” Now, Ingo tells us that 2024 is looking to be a special year for Arktis Tours. After having “survived” the last three years with the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, the company is seeing a sharp increase in demand for trips to its destinations. He says, “The uniqueness of travel and authentic experiences is becoming increasingly important. Personal contact between the customer and the tour operator is now also decisive criterion for travel booking. We have therefore expanded our team and will be moving to a new, larger office in Kempten in the fall of 2024. In the future, we will focus even more strongly on designing unique trips in order to compete as a specialist tour operator against the large international tourism groups.” Ultimately, it is easy to see what makes Arktis Tours the Best Northern Europe & Polar Tour Operator 2024 – Germany. From its extraordinary destination options to its knowledgeable team who will bend over backwards to deliver a top tier service, guests can rest assured that their experience with Arktis Tours will be nothing short of outstanding. Don’t just take it from us; here’s what a couple of its travellers have to say. One person delights, “The Arktis team did a marvellous job in tailoring a perfect oneweek trip through Northern Scandinavia (Finland, Norway). Our guide Christoph was very forthcoming and always made sure everyone was comfortable. He was very engaged in revealing his Lapland to us and always had photo stops and breaks to read historical short stories from the Sami people to us. We were very lucky with the weather and had the chance to enjoy most impressive aurora borealis for the majority of evenings. Transport and accommodation as well as catering were fantastic. I can warmly recommend Arktis Tours and me and my wife will certainly be looking forward to planning another tour with them in the future.” Another equally elated individual shares, “If it were possible, I would give six stars. If you are looking for an organiser with personal service and a lot of knowledge, you have come to the right place! We did a 4x4 offroad tour “Iceland Westfjords” with a pickup camper in August. There were three of us, the accompanying lead vehicle, and very competent guides: Ingo, the owner, and Chris. Both very enthusiastic and Iceland fans with a lot of knowledge. As a result, we got to places that we had never visited on our own, even with a lot of study of travel guides and online resources.” Company: Arktis Tours GmbH & Co.
