I literally don’t even know how to describe how I feel perusal you guys do these incredible adventures. I found you shortly after my now 5 year-old was born and I quickly decided to binge watch you from day one until present day. Seeing you go from not riding a giant ferris wheel because of your budget, to showing people the adventures that exist it literally brings tears to my eyes, Thank you for being 100% authentically you, excited over every little thing and I can tell you still feel the pinch me moments. You two feel like family and I cannot wait to watch this adventure unfold.
We enjoyed your north pole icebreaker journey so much. As we’re perusal this 1st episode, my husband Jerry’s says. “I have engineering documents all over that ship.” He’s a now retired, Senior Systems Engineer. His company designs and installs Dynamic Positioning Systems for ships. Jerry designed the system on this 1. I thought that was very cool. Just wanted to share that with you both. Small world. This was 1 of his many designs when we still lived in San Diego California.
Just a clarification for those that might be unaware: When he said “It does not get dark up here, ever…”. Within the Arctic circle, and the Antarctic circle, the phenomenon of Midnight sun occurs. This means that the sun does not set below the horizon for at least once every year, per the definition of midnight sun. Directly on the poles, the duration of the midnight sun lasts for pretty much half a year. The downside of the seemingly ever lasting sun in the Polar circles, is that when half a year goes by, the opposite Pole circle wants its share of the sun. After 6 months of everlasting sun, the phenomenon of “Polar night” occurs. This is the complete opposite, and means that the sun never rises above the horizon. No real daylight, for 6 months straight.
Sooo excited to see what comes next over the next 2 weeks on this amazing and EPIC adventure! Following Kara all over the ship got me totally and completely lost! That was fun! Can’t believe it’s so huge and so luxurious!What an incredibly built ship! As everyone has mentioned already, the joy you bring to all of us is next level and so appreciated! Thank you!
I’m speechless! Each time I watch one of your articles of the AMAZING adventures you go on, I always think it can’t get any better than the one I’m perusal!! Then ….. you head on an adventure to the NORTH POLE!!! I have learned more from perusal your articles than I learned in my years in geography & history classes in high school. Hope you both continue these AWESOME adventures for us all to experience with you. Be safe & have FUN!!
OMG, you two are so much FUN, and a great pleasure to watch online! Kara your facial expressions, squeals of delight and giggles are truly adorable – just love that you guys include the bloopers in your editing – that keeps it all fabulously real as well as hugely entertaining too. Thanks for sharing this incredible North Pole journey with us … I’m a tad envious, and definitely adding this to my bucket list. Enjoy Canada with Eamon, Bec and Max xx
I only recently discovered you two on YouTube…and I’m glad I did. I have so much respect for the two of you having unlocked the secret to actually living life at its fullest. I watch each episode you release with a big smile on my face, because, how can I not? Your positive nature and all around happiness is contagious as well as inspiring. I so badly want to go on this trip to the North Pole and see it with my own eyes now. Oh, just a small observation on my part. You guys clean up pretty good in your fancy attire. (Insert showering joke now) Thanks for the adventures. 🙂
I cannot wait for your other articles!! This looks like it was one amazing trip and it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Sorry couldn’t help myself. Looking forward to seeing a new episode before next Saturday!!! Currently a little over half way the watch from the beginning playlist and to see your guys growth is so amazing!!! And to add to it my husband has finally joined in perusal with me. It’s sparked his interest in traveling which I have ALWAYS wanted to do and now we’re making our own bucket list!!!
Oh, yay!! A North Pole series! I’m SO EXCITED!!! I loved your Antarctica trip so I’m just as excited to see this one! And how great is it that you were in Svarlbard. Do you know there’s a pretty popular YouTuber that lives there full time? Her name is Cecilia Blomdahl. I’ve learned so much about that island from perusal her articles. It’s a very beautiful, weird & fascinating place to be.
I did a cruise with my mother to Alaska back in 2007 and fell in love with the beauty of the landscape. I personally enjoyed going through the ice that we had to traverse and the glaciers we saw. BUT…… I am extremely jealous of your trip. I didn’t know there was a cruise that one could take to the North Pole. I guess I will live vicariously through y’all.
In a future article can you guys touch on the environmental impact of the ship? Is there any concern around breaking through ice where there may be seal pups or polar bears? Do they cruise at a certain time of year to avoid harming wildlife? Does the ship run on sustainable fuel? What are the giant batteries for? Haha sincerely NO SHADE at all. I love you guys and watch every article but have so many questions about the fragile environment at the ice caps 😊
What an incredible experience! I’m looking forward to the entire series. I watch travel YouTube articles to get inspired for the three months my partner and I travel each year. Spending 50000 on a two week trip is far beyond aspirational for us…but it’s wonderful to experience it through your eyes! I like the balance of budget friendly and the occasional luxury experience on your website. Thanks for the inspiration! ❄️
I’m dealing with a nasty divorce and moving in to my very first apartment as a single girl. It’s exciting and overwhelming at the same time. Your articles and lots of prayers are what’s getting me through this major adjustment in my life. I can’t tell you how much I need your articles to help me escape a little and get a sense of a level head and peace. You two are almost literally saving my sanity! God Bless You!
The ship looks stunning, I felt guilty perusal all the ice break apart though, I hope it’s not causing much environmental damage. Good that the heat is recycled throughout the ship though. Also, Nate it does get dark up there… in the winter the sun won’t come up at all. 😛 I’m sure you knew that though.
Wowww, this is literally a dream! Visiting the Arctic & Antarctica are some of my top top bucket list trips, so I would absolutely love to do this… Although in a melting world, I do wonder what the implications are of breaking all that ice just for tourists to visit.. I’d be interested to find out what if any offsetting the company does, and if there are any downsides of this type of travel.
My dad used to work in boat construction and a few times he was able to bring one of those liferafts home (12:55). We would put it in the garden in summer and fill it up with water. So we had our private pool with a ‘roof’ over it. After a while the roof would rip, so we took it off and treat the sides as trampolines and jump against the pole in the middle. It’s an amazing memory I have from my youth. My dad passed away a few years ago and I still miss him very much. Thank you for bringing up this amazing memory of him.
Hi, lot nicer then the 3 different Ice Breakers I was on. All trips were 6 months each. The first two were Artic East, that is sailing north through Baffin Bay ( a very rough body of water. Then two Artic West from Oakland, CA. up to Jueanu then Nome and then sailed to the north shore of Alaska to Barrow. Each of these were 6 months each. Later 4 trips to the Antarctic each 6 months long with MANY stops in other countries going south from Long Beach, CA and also many stops on the return trip. Two of those trips included complete circum navigate the entire Antarctic body of land. And I got paid for all of those trips. Included seeing many Polar Bears on the north trips. Okra whales on the south trips and many stops at Penguin colonies where we landed and sat on the ground and had many Penguins come up and climb into my lap. Great trips the first trip was in the winter of 1963. Ron USCG RET
Addicted to your articles! My husband and I have seen almost everyone. Working on the rest. We flew from Kona, HI (our home) to Long Beach, CA (previous home) the other day. I did the little dance Kara does entering the plane. My husband lost it. LOL. On my way to Knoxville now to see my mom (where I’m from. Go Vols!). This might be one of your best articles ever. We’ll, if it’s possible to rank them. We’ve loved them all! Thank you for all the fun entertainment and FareDrop! Loving it too!
In my opinion tourist should stay away from either the north or the south pole. Especially with a ship where literally everything is heated. Like, isn’t the ice not melting fast enough already? Of course it’s cool to see it. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t. But the environment is so much more important than some tourist trip. Update: okay, later in the article i understoot the ship also has a lot of researchers on board. But still, headed benches, a fency headed pool.. is it really necessary?
Although this trip looks incredible, I can’t help but wonder if cruises like this are only going to speed up the ever growing environmental issues. Will the ice breakers cut the already shrinking ice into smaller pieces, making it them melt quicker? The fuel emissions effect the environment from the cruise ships? Will the traffic impact the Arctic wildlife? I’ve read an article on how impactful the Antarctica cruises have been. Having wanted to go on one of those cruises myself. It just concerns me when traffic begins to flow through delicate environments.
Hi Kara and Nare, how do you feel about climate change and the way you guys are living at the moment? It seems that this boat is not very eco friendly and we all know the ice is melting fast… Just wondering how you feel about that and what you guys do about the climate change. Anyway I think this is an awesome experience and as Nate said an once in a lifetime experience.
This looks like an amazing trip! No judgement in what I am about to ask, I just want to know your thoughts. As much I would love to go to North and South Poles, is it better from an environmental stand point to limit human interaction with these ecologically sensitive areas? Again I would like to know Kara and Nate’s thoughts on this (BTW, love your website).
I remember when Kara and Nate traveled on a budget and didn’t get a ton of free stuff and they were actually fun to watch. I may be done with this website This trip is $40,000 to start. I’m not sure if these two are even self aware enough to realize it. Soon we’ll see them taking private jets everywhere. Welcome to Kara and Nate Kardashian. So disappointed.
You said the hull of the ship that breaks the ice is only 5 cm thick. I immediately thought about the various types of steels that have been developed in just the past 10 years. Such as Maximent, K390, CPM Cruwear, and S90V. And thats only naming a few. But the difference in hardness, toughness, ability to hold an edge for much longer, so on and so forth, is astounding. Alot of these steels can be found in the knife industry. But plenty of these steels are being utilized in ship building and manufacturing of all sorts Im sure. Very unique ship and tour that’s for sure.
YOU ARE GREAT!!! Great at making me feel like I’m there, Great at making it exciting, Great at making it interesting, and Great at making it completely FUN! I may never get to go, but it does my soul good to know I could. It takes a lot to put your articles together for US, just know speaking for myself, I am very grateful.

That heater in the bench is pretty similar to how heat works in a car. The coolant that is keeping the engine cool by circulation through the radiator with air moving across it. But also that coolant is around 190° so when you turn your heat on it diverts the coolant through a heater core. Fun fact, turning your heater on will make your engine run cooler.
oh wow, this cruise for 16 days is $35,000, what an amazing treat this would be! hope you guys have a blast! all these years later and you guys are still loving your adventures and appreciating each other, it’s nice to see! (That duplex suite goes for $77,000 in case someone has extra cash lying around)
I’ve sailed out of Alaska twice – LOVED IT & follow a few websites that have gone further north as well. Looking forward to taking a cruise like this one & Antarctica some day . Can’t wait to see the next article’s! I know it’s been a while since you’ve been on a cruise & could see as the article progressed, so did the ship lingo. 🙂 She’s a ship (not a boat) & rooms are cabins/staterooms. Cruising is my preferred way to travel when possible. So far 24 countries plus providences, territories etc. “I am not the same having seen the moonshine on the other side of the world” (Mary Anne Radmacher)
The heated benches and (im assuming) handrails is not just for passenger comfort. Every metal surface on the outside of a ship has a tendency to build up ice in rough weather and fog which you are very unlikely to run into but its better to have it and not need it and all that plus passenger comfort so yay!
You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. –Steve Jobs;’;’
This is absolutely stunning and lovely. Enjoyed each and every second. kara is evolving!! Along with showing the tour, she is Singer – ‘bur bur bur.. I’m cold I’m cold’ Dancer – ‘Dancing with the safety suit on’ Comedian – ‘Is it on Auto-pilot’, no it’s ice-pilot 😂. Pointing hair dryer to shoes and leaving it Waitress – ‘Pinacolada blah blah’ 😂
Wauw wauw Fantastisch 🤩 ( cousin of mine just did a trip like this an other boat ) life time goal for anyone But at a massive cost 🤦♀️ so will dream and watch your articles take in all the things you see & Do . I know you will make Breathtaking footage ❤️❤️ Oh yes Little Hunter would love this very much,hope one day you & Nate can meet up with Stephen & Jess & Hunter 🙏 Have a Fantastic time 🥰🥰
