Perfect for first-time visitors to the Arctic, this voyage highlights four spectacular
destinations near the top of the world and provides an unforgettable taste of the
diversity of the Arctic, featuring giant icebergs, towering mountains, expansive
tundra, iconic wildlife, traditional Inuit culture and more.
Your adventure begins in the remote Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, renowned for
its stunning scenery and abundant, varied wildlife such as polar bears and walrus.
From there, sail south across the Greenland Sea to the mysterious, volcanic Jan
Mayen, a nature reserve so remote that few have ever been fortunate enough to
explore this Arctic treasure. The next stop is Greenland's beguiling east coast, where
you will cruise deep into Scoresby Sund to marvel at the overwhelming beauty
of the world's largest ord system, gaze in awe at unimaginably vast icebergs, and
admire the diversity of the flora and fauna that have fascinated explorers and visitors
for centuries —and seize the opportunity to explore the remains of ancient Thule
settlements. Your epic adventure culminates with a journey under the midnight sun
to Reykjavik, where you can soak up Icelandic culture in a city that never sleeps.
