ITINERARY
Day
1 : Longyearbyen (Svalbard), Norway
Longyearbyen
is in a valley on the shores of the idyllic Adventfjord, surrounded by
steep mountains and several glaciers. There are only around 25 miles of
roads in this village, which is divided into several neighborhoods,
including the town center and Nybyen (New Town), which consists of
charming miners’ barracks constructed after the war, as well
as guest houses, a restaurant and gallery, and not to mention beautiful
views of the landmark mountain, Hiorthfjellet. Be sure to visit the
Svalbard museum as a break between the plethora of activities like
summer dogsledding or cruising to the abandoned Russian city of
Pyramiden
Day
2 : Ny-Ålesund (Svalbard), Norway
Ny-Ålesund
is the northernmost settlement on Svalbard with a population of about
12 people. Here you can find an international scientific research
station. Close to the village is a breeding ground for rare geese and
arctic terns. Not far from here you may cruise your way toward the
Ossian Sars Nature Reserve, a preservation of mountains and surrounding
vegetation that is a sight to behold.
Day
2-3 : Exploring Svalbard - Captain's Choice
Even
in one of the most isolated regions of the Arctic, there is still the
captivating history of a pioneering past. Our expedition leaders, along
with the captain and onboard pilot, will determine possible landings
each day for all-out explorations. Wildlife abounds throughout the
archipelago of Svalbard, such as puffins, reindeer, Arctic terns and
foxes. An expert photographer will help you look out for the perfect
photo opportunity of these animals, but especially for the elusive
polar bear. As Zodiac cruises may bring you closer to glaciers, keep
your eyes on the water for whale fins.
CAPTAIN’S CHOICE - Your
Captain will expertly navigate ice floes, icebergs and changing sea and
weather conditions to ensure you experience the most from your
expedition. Each day is a new adventure filled with a spontaneous sense
of exploration as your Captain works with our expedition team to
determine possible shore landings and Zodiac safaris. All itinerary
routes serve as examples and are subject to change based on current
conditions, prioritizing the safety and optimal expedition experience
for all guests.
Day
4-5 : Exploring Greenland - Captain's Choice
Making
possible landings amid Greenland National Park, the largest in the
world, you may find yourself within one of the country’s
largest fjord systems. Plentiful with wildlife from belugas and
narwhals to seals, walruses, caribou, musk oxen, and even possible
polar bear sightings, it’s a wonderland of nature. Due to its
size and limited accessibility, Greenland National Park’s
only residents are personnel from meteorological stations and the
Danish Armed Forces.

Day 5 : Ittoqqortoormiit,
Greenland
The name "Ittoqqortoormiit" means "Big-House Dwellers" in the Eastern
Greenlandic dialect. Very few visitors make the trek here, as the
winters are long, and the sea is frozen for nine months of the year.
Ittoqqortoormiit is located at Scoresby Sound and with its side fjord
is the largest fjord complex in the world, as well as the
world’s longest fjord. Within its borders is the tallest
mountain in the Arctic region, the two-mile-tall Gunnbjorn Mountain.
During early spring, when the sea ice is still thick, yet the sun is
high in the sky, many of the local people go out for a weekend on dog
sledding trips.
Day 6-7 : Fjords of
Greenland -
Captain's Choice
A
once-in-a-lifetime adventure is yours to have on the largest island in
the world, Greenland. At the very top of the world, it’s
renowned for its vast tundra, immense glaciers and deep fjords. From an
aerial view, the systems link together like the roots of a massive tree
and stretching coastlines are dotted with small islands. Landscapes
include enormous icebergs and glaciers. Depending on the time of year,
you may see polar bears hunt on the ice.

Day 8 :
Ísafjörður, Iceland
Amid the enchanting Westfjords of Iceland stands
Ísafjörður, a fishing town thriving with
local energy and culture. Summer months here are brisk, but
it’s this cool climate combined with breathtaking and quaint
scenery that makes the village feel like an undiscovered treasure. The
massive depression among the flat-topped mountains called Naustahvilft
- known colloquially as the troll seat - combines Iceland’s
natural beauty with the town’s rich folklore. Make a stop at
Dokkan Brugghús, the only brewery in the entire Westfjords,
and sample the local beers, crafted with naturally filtered spring
water from the nearby mountains. For those for whom the sea’s
siren call beckons, you must visit the Westfjord History Museum, based
on Ísafjörður’s maritime heritage
and its rise in the fishing industry.
Day 9-10 :
Reykjavík, Iceland
In the southwest of Iceland near Faxaflói Bay lies the
capital of the country, Reykjavík, simultaneously
cosmopolitan and charming. The colorful houses on the horizon create a
quaint scene that will make you want to stay forever. Kaleidoscopic
views await you at the Harpa Concert Hall, a glittering, glass
structure that perfectly exemplifies Iceland’s modern design
and will fascinate your inner architect. One of Iceland’s
most prominent landmarks is Perlan, originally a group of hot water
tanks that was converted to a building that now hosts an exhibition,
planetarium, restaurant and observation deck, located atop
Öskjuhlíð hill.
