Don't kid yourself. The north pole will just be an incredibly boring bed of dead water like any other ocean by then and Antarctica will likely be just a bunch of rocks, possibly leaking gas that was trapped under ice for millions of years. At least there will be some nature in scandinavia to look at through a big window in an air conditioned cruise ship.

Antarctica will likely be just a bunch of rocks,

Wouldn't that take quite a while? As far as I understand it humanity will get centuries or even millenia of an ever rising sea level. That's gonna be fun.
