Creator's Key Takeaways

This is the world's first and only luxury icebreaker and it's going to be our home for the next 2 weeks

We're standing on the Arctic Ocean. This is insane.

The North Pole might not even be the highlight of this cruise.

One of the best parts about this cruise was being completely disconnected for 2 weeks.

We discovered the world of β€œtravel hacking” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;) So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a β€œone year” trip around the world. Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went back home to β€œnormal life.” We started this channel to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with living on the road and found a new passion for capturing our travels through video. So we did everything we could to keep going. 4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time! After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time international traveling! And now we are in our 11TH YEAR of finding the best adventures the world has to offer :) We are incredibly grateful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊πŸŽ₯🌎 Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey! 0:00 North Pole Cruise 2:17 Suite Tour 6:45 Full Ship Tour 24:44 Daily Life Onboard 44:26 Standing on a Frozen Ocean 48:01 WE MADE IT 54:13 Full Day at North Pole 56:18 Nate ran 100 miles 58:35 Polar Plunge!! 1:02:30 Cruising the islands 1:07:28 SO MUCH WILDLIFE 1:19:47 Bloops
