Day 1: Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen

Embark aboard our ship in the afternoon.

Day 2-5: North West Spitsbergen

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.

Days 6-7: Greenland Sea

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. Frigid waters drain from the Arctic Ocean in a southwest current along the coast of Northeast Greenland.

Days 8-12: North East Greenland National Park and Ittoqqortoomiit

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.

Days 13-14: Denmark Strait

Enjoy the lecture series while watching the seas for whales. Head towards Iceland and the steaming hot springs of Reykjavik. The view is often complemented by soaring fulmars, kittiwakes, gannets, guillemots, and razorbills.

Day 15: Reykjavik

Shortly after breakfast, disembark in Reykjavik, walking distance form downtown. Transfers to the airport are available to all passengers who have flights booked on the disembarkation day.
