JourneyWoman Travel for Women Over 50

Get 25% off all 2025 Arctic departures with Wild Women Expeditions

Published 4 months ago • 4 min read

Dear JourneyWoman,

If the hundreds of women who registered for our Arctic webinar last week is any indication - the Arctic is a fascinating destination for women over 50. No wonder it made our "30 Less-Travelled Places for Women to Travel to in 2024" list! Last Thursday, we hosted a fabulous webinar with our Women's Travel Directory partner, Wild Women Expeditions, where we discussed everything you need to know about the Arctic, from where to go, how to get there, and why you should start planning now for a 2025 departure.

For those who joined our Arctic webinar (watch it here if you missed it), our three top takeaways are:

  1. If you choose to travel by a small ship like the Ocean Endeavour, you will get the rare chance to go on land, meet the Indigenous people who live here and support their communities
  2. While you can go on your own to some parts of the Arctic, going on an expedition ship means you don’t have to worry about flights because it’s all included, as are excursions and day trips
  3. Want to go solo? For a limited time, Wild Women Expeditions have some solo cabins available as a free upgrade! Availability is limited so please call one of their Polar Experts on +1 (888) 993-1222 to secure your solo cabin.

If a trip to the Arctic has been lingering on your bucket list, consider this your sign to take the plunge and go ahead to book that adventure. Get a 25% early-bird discount on all of Wild Women Expeditions' 2025 Arctic expeditions for a limited time only! Make sure you mention JourneyWoman and the promo code JWARCTIC25 at the time of booking either via email adventure@wildwomenexpeditions.com or on the phone +1 (888) 993-1222.
