About Arctic Direct: Arctic Direct Bring You The Ultimate In Cool Winter Holiday Experiences

We’re a leading online travel agency based in the UK. We’ve been organising holidays, educational tours and corporate trips to the Arctic for the last 18 years. We love the Arctic – we don’t arrange trips to anywhere else – and we have first-hand experience of all our destinations. We’re also protected by ABTA and ATOL, so, whether you want to see the Northern Lights, stay in a glass igloo or head into the wilderness on a husky adventure you can trust us to show you the very best the Arctic has to offer.
As specialists, we know more about Arctic travel than anyone else and will work with you to create exactly the right trip. You can choose from a wide range of packages to Finland, Sweden, Norway and further afield (all of which can be customised to suit) or create a bespoke bucket list adventure. Whatever you choose you’ll be creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Looking to tick the Northern Lights off your ‘must-see’ list? Perhaps you have always wanted to stay in an Ice Hotel or a Glass Igloo? Or maybe you dream of mushing a team of huskies or driving a snowmobile? With Arctic Direct you can do all of this AND travel with a trusted and fully licensed UK operator.
We can arrange trips to Greenland and the North Pole (for the ultimate adventure!) and we work with schools, groups and corporate travellers as well as holiday makers. To find out more, just contact sales@arcticdirect.co.uk or call 01793 939035.

Before booking any holiday, ensure you have read our Terms & Conditions

We hope that you enjoy travelling with Arctic Direct.

 

Meet the Team:

Charlotte – Owner/Founder of Travelbee & Arctic Direct

“I started Travelbee, the parent company of Arctic Direct, back in 2004. I wanted to travel to the Arctic but there weren’t many trips available and the ones I found just weren’t for me. I was looking for a unique experience but the packages offered to me were a bit bland. So I decided to go into business creating some real Arctic adventures.

Whilst there are more competitors now than when we first started, we are still the specialists in this area. I have personally tried and tested almost all the tours we sell, and so has my knowledgeable team, so you can book with confidence knowing that our recommendations are based on first-hand experience.

Our customers prefer working with a company that will go the extra mile for them and we pride ourselves on our customer service. With us, you won’t be passed around from one salesperson to another. Because we’re a small team we’re able to deliver a bespoke experience, tailoring everything to your requirements. And, if there’s a problem when you’re away, we’ll do everything we possibly can to put it right for you. My aim is still the same as it was in 2004 – to create some amazing memories that will last a lifetime.”

Hannah – Head of Sales and Office Manager 

I love putting together the perfect bucket list trip for our customers and I can’t wait to see their photos when they get back. Since joining the Travelbee team in 2017, I’ve had the opportunity to visit lots of the resorts we work with – Arctic Snow Hotel in Finland and ICEHOTEL in Sweden are some of my very favourite places. As well as sales, I also look after business development and make sure the office runs like clockwork.

Lou – Sales 

I have joined Arctic Direct as a Sales Assistant, after 20 years of sales experience in the housing industry it was time for a change!

With a passion for adventure myself, visiting the Arctic has been on my list of places to visit for a while. With my first familiarization trip to Kakslauttanen in Finland under my belt, I am looking forward to experiencing this at first hand and passing my experience and knowledge onto our customers.

Arctic Direct work with a vast variety of resorts across the Arctic region; I am looking forward to learning about all these resorts and creating the adventure of a lifetime for others.

Ellie – Admin Supervisor

I joined Travelbee in August 2022 after having my son and wanted to take a dive into something new, I had never thought about a holiday in the snow before working here! I have since been promoted to Supervisor and work alongside the admin team to ensure all our bookings are smooth sailing and there are no hiccups along the way. I support our guests by either phone or email and am always on hand to answer any queries.

I joined Arctic Direct in September 2022. I have always loved travelling and am proud to help many of our guests to fulfill their bucket list holiday dreams. I am currently in the process of gaining my AAT Accounting qualification and ArcticDirect supports me with the day-to-day business experience in this area. I am also looking after Arctic Direct’s social media and assist with any admin related tasks.
