Set out from Oslo on a expedition through Svalbard, Greenland and Iceland, exploring some of the most remote and spectacular landscapes of the Arctic. Begin in Longyearbyen and explore the fjords and glaciers of Svalbard before sailing towards Northeast Greenland National Park, the world’s largest national park. Continue through the immense fjord system of Scoresby Sund, where dramatic landscapes, historic sites and abundant Arctic wildlife await, before sailing south to Iceland.
After a flight from Oslo, your adventure begins with an overnight stay in the world’s northernmost town, Longyearbyen, a unique place on the edge of the Arctic wilderness. If you have time, explore this special town before enjoying a relaxing evening at your leisure.
After breakfast, it’s time to experience Longyearbyen. The town is perfect for exploring on foot. Stroll down the main street and you might see Svalbard reindeer saunter by. Although wild, they’re curious and tame.
Before boarding your ship in the afternoon and continuing your Arctic discovery, join an included expedition experience and get a glimpse of this amazing polar bear–inspired region at the top of the world.
The Expedition Team provide information about your upcoming adventure and explain important protocols when visiting wildlife habitats and indigenous Arctic communities.
Today, you’ll discover the serenity of Ny-Ålesund, a former mining town and one of the northernmost settlements in the world, strategically located at the entry into beautiful Kongsfjord.
The coal deposits were claimed in 1909 and exploitation started shortly after, supported by investors from the Norwegian town of Ålesund, hence the name of Ny-Ålesund. After operations ceased in 1962, the town was abandoned until polar scientists realized it would be a fantastic base for all kinds of Arctic research.
Now an international hub for global science and climate research, including China’s Yellow River station, you can still see remnants of the town’s history, closely connected to Roald Amundsen’s expeditions north with the airship ‘Norge’.
Disconnect and enjoy a day without distractions.
It’s time to relax, find your sea legs and get acquainted with the onboard facilities.
The Expedition Team will give talks about your upcoming adventure and explain the protocols of respectfully visiting wildlife habitats and Indigenous Arctic communities. In the lecture hall, you’ll find out what to expect in the epic landscapes of East Greenland National Park and the stunning fjords of Scoresby Sund.
If you’re feeling active, head to the gym and do a workout with a view. On the other hand, you could sample the sauna, laze in a hot tub, or just find a quiet corner to read a book with a hot drink.
Explore the wild east
Extending for over 1,740 miles from north to south, this long stretch of coast is cold, isolated, and remote even by Greenlandic standards. The south-flowing East Greenland Current brings lots of sea ice directly from the Arctic Ocean, challenging human settlement but creating a heaven for ice-dependant wildlife.
Scoresby Sund, the world’s largest fjord system. You’ll feel a deep sense of serenity in this wild and rugged region with white and blue icebergs floating in mirror-like waters surrounded by looming mountains. Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the most remote inhabited communities in the Western Hemisphere.
The beautiful Northeast Greenland National Park – the world’s largest national park. Visiting this fragile Arctic wilderness is a rare privilege as only a few visitors are permitted here each year.
Apart from old trapper huts, some science research stations, and a military outpost, there are very few traces of human life in this 375,000 square mile park. Be assured that this is one of the quietest places on Earth, and you’ll enjoy a feeling of great peace.
Spend the days at sea recapping your experiences with your new friends, studying nature in the Science Center, listening to a lecture or two, or just relaxing on deck. Keep an eye out for whales.
East Greenland’s beauty is sure to have left its mark on you, so reflect on what you’ve seen – from the delicate ecology of the fjord systems to the ethereal elegance of the floating ice.
With its interesting museums, stylish galleries, restaurants and geothermal pools, there’s so much to enjoy in Iceland’s capital.
Extend your stay to enjoy more of Reykjavík and its surrounding geothermal attractions. It’s a great place to end an epic journey!
