A cruise is the best way to explore these beautiful areas enables you to travel in the luxury of having expert guides. Here are seven remote islands which you can visit on a voyage ship.
Easter Islands

South Georgia island’s breathtaking views and its spectacular wildlife are a real treat to all the senses. South Georgia is a breeding ground of five million macaroni penguins, more than 100,000 king penguin couples, black-browed albatross, southern right whales, fur seals and elephant seals, etc. other countless magnificent species.
The island is also known for its thrilling story of Shechkleyon’s Transoceanic expedition that turned out to be a disaster, and a mighty explorer Grytviken is buried here.
Severnaya Zemlya, Russia
One of the most pristine and off-beat locations is the islands of Severnaya Zemlya. Located off the Northern coast of Siberia, this is the last of archipelagos discovered on earth after many failed attempts to notice a landmass here; perhaps it wasn’t approachable back in the 19th century. It’s an abandoned island; you will only find wildlife like arctic foxes, lemmings, polar bears are a rare sight here. Expedition cruises to the Russian Arctic are seldom; you need to wait for a month to get ported through the Northeast passage to Severnaya Zemlya.
