    "I wanted to thank you and 50 Degrees North for giving us the best days my daughter and I had EVER!!! We fell in love with your country and its beauty took our breath away every time we went out. The hotel was absolutely fantastic, the food, the room, the guides everything was so well organised and the people so friendly and eager to share their knowledge/culture with us.
    We only saw very faint Northern Lights but being out there in the middle of nowhere in pitch black looking at an amazing sky was more than enough! Our outings with the reindeers and the huskies were unbelievable.Please pass on our thanks to the team and again thank you for your assistance when booking the trip.” Sylvie,  2013

    Hi Jayde and "T", I just wanted to thank you for organizing our trip so efficiently and creatively. The variety of accomodation in such wonderful country villages, princely homes and character filled hotels and the myriad ideas for activities in each village, town and city demonstrated your depth of research, your knowledge of the country and  people and your careful consideration for our needs and interests. Your inspired suggestion of having a driver, BJ, who was so good, kind, experienced and trustworthy added to the total enjoyment of our trip. Thank you. I look forward to another trip with you at 50 degrees north in the near future.

    “Thank you for your thorough and prompt service for our recent trip. We had a lovely time and really enjoyed the special hotels you recommended. I look forward to travelling with 50 Degrees North again, perhaps Mongolia next time...”

    We enjoyed a Polar Bear Cruise with 50 Degrees North in July 2012. We were thrilled by the trip - we loved the adventure and constant chase of finding wild animals in their habitat. 4 Polar bears, arctic foxes, heaps of Walrus and whales really made the trip special.
    We made lots of friends on board with a great comradeship created in the adventure of the Zodiac missions, the BBQs on the decks and the Iceberg cocktails. We would recommend this voyage to those wanting to see something new and different. 50 Degrees North helped us with all our flights and suggested great hotels and side excursions to make the whole trip very unique. Thanks!
