Ready to sail straight into the Arctic’s greatest hits? Over 15 epic days, you’ll kick things off in Reykjavík, Iceland’s legendary Land of Fire and Ice, before heading north toward the untouched wilds of Svalbard. Along the way, cruise past towering icebergs, explore fjords by Zodiac, and wander quiet tundra trails where few travellers have stepped. From whale sightings to Inuit culture and polar bear country, every day brings a new “wow” — until your journey wraps in Longyearbyen, deep in the high Arctic and a world away from the everyday.
Embark aboard the Expedition in the afternoon and depart Reykjavík in the late afternoon. Arrival transfer included.
Drop off your checked luggage by 2pm at the joining hotel’s luggage storage room and there will be a late afternoon transfer. Depart Reykjavik in the evening.
Enjoy the lecture series while watching the seas for whales. Head away from Iceland and the steaming hot springs of Reykjavík. The view is often complemented by soaring fulmars, kittiwakes, gannets, guillemots, and razorbills.
Spend a few days exploring the massive fjord system of Northeast Greenland National Park, which includes portions of Scorsbysund. Visit the tiny settlement of Ittoqqortoormiit for a look at how these most northerly people live.
Keep an eye out for majestic whales, which are known to feed here in the summer months. Spot orca, humpback and minke whales, as well as dolphins. Enjoy lectures by expedition staff.
Taking advantage of local ice and weather conditions, explore the Northwest Spitsbergen National Park, one of those rare places on Earth blessed with both awe-inspiring landscape and compelling history.
Shortly after breakfast, disembark the ship. Transfers to the Longyearbyen airport will be offered to all passengers with flights scheduled.
