As
you traverse the scenic vistas of Lofoten, marvel at majestic mountain
peaks and expansive fertile lands that once set the stage for Viking
sagas. Your expedition begins in Haukland Beach, a paradisiacal haven
with its pearly white sands and sapphire waters, embraced by lush
greenery and towering peaks, evoking the essence of an Arctic paradise.
We will have ample time to hike from Uttakleiv, to Haukland
Beach—a gentle stretch over hills and along the coastal path
to the pristine white sand beach.??
Upon reaching the Viking Museum in Borg, enjoy an exhibition showcasing
archaeological discoveries and meticulous recreations of Viking
dwellings, gaining a vivid understanding of the daily lives of these
seafaring people a millennium ago. The museum endeavours to
authentically recreate the Viking village atmosphere, complete with
handicrafts, traditional buildings, and era-specific cuisine. As part
of this immersive experience, you'll be treated to a soup crafted from
an ancient North Norwegian recipe, prepared over an open
fire—a culinary journey back in time amid the fascinating
history of the Vikings.?
Drive through the scenic landscapes of Lofoten to Norway's renowned
Sund where you will visit a Black smith at the Fishery Museum, famous
for his beautiful cormorants made of steel. The decorative wrought iron
cormorants are famous all over the world, and can be found in the
Pentagon, the Kremlin and in the King of Norway's palace.?
Continue to the village of Reine where your ship will be waiting for
you. This fishing village is one of the most beautiful in Norway, and
we are sure that when you see it you will understand why!
Day
6-7 : At Sea
Enjoy
the crossing to Jan Mayen, accompanied by seabirds as we search for
whales. Enjoy informative talks from our team of experts, get to know
your fellow expeditioners or stay active in the gym. Remember to look
to the skies at night and hope for sightings of the northern lights.
Day 8
: Jan Mayen
The
approach to Jan Mayen is spectacular. The huge 2,277-metre (7,470 foot)
Beerenberg volcano is the northernmost active volcano in the world, and
it last erupted in 1985. The northern part of the island is a great
place to look for whales and dolphins and contains impressive glaciers,
some of which reach the sea. If the weather is favourable, we will try
to land at Kvalrossbukta, a relatively sheltered bay on the
island’s west coast. This is one of the landings used to
supply the weather station Olonkinbyen, situated on the eastern side of
the island.??
Days
9-14 : East Greenland
In
the coming days, a host of choices are available to us, and depending
on ice and weather conditions, the east coast of Greenland is ours to
explore. The members of our experienced Expedition Team, who have made
countless journeys to this area, will use their expertise to tailor our
voyage to suit the day-to-day conditions. This allows us to make best
use of the prevailing weather, ice conditions and any opportunities for
wildlife encounters. We generally attempt up to two landings or Zodiac
excursions per day, including cruising along spectacular ice cliffs,
following whales feeding near the surface.
Be prepared to experience ice – and lots of it! East
Greenland contains some of the Arctic’s most impressive
scenery. Deep fjords and narrow channels, flanked by sharp ice-clad
peaks soaring up to 2,000 metres (6,562 feet), and glaciers birthing
gigantic icebergs that drift throughout the fjord system, combine to
create breathtaking scenes.
The tundra landscape is home to musk oxen, arctic hares and reindeer.
Throughout the area there are ancient Thule archaeological sites,
historical trappers’ huts, and the cabins of present-day
Inuit hunters. A highlight is a visit to the Inuit village of
Ittoqqortoormiit, the most isolated and northernmost permanent
settlement in the region, with approximately 450 inhabitants. The
community has an excellent museum, gift shop, an abundance of
Greenlandic sled dogs and provides the opportunity to meet the friendly
locals.
Explore Scoresbysund, the world’s largest fjord system and a
favourite hunting ground of the local Inuit. Massive glaciers flow into
this fjord, the birthplace of hundreds of majestic Greenland icebergs.
It is a spectacular place that simply needs to be seen to be believed.
North of Scoresbysund lie Kong Oskar and Kaiser Franz Josef fjords, two
of the most significant fjord systems in Greenland, each one
encompassing several smaller fjords and sounds. Thanks to the fertile
volcanic soil and the surrounding mountains offering protection from
strong winds, the area is rich in wildlife. You may spot everything
from musk oxen and arctic foxes to mountain hares, and even reindeer,
near the fjord. Look skyward and you could catch a glimpse of birds,
including the glaucous gull, black-legged kittiwake, northern fulmar,
common raven and common eider.
We will attempt to enter Kaiser Franz Josef Fjord, a remote and rarely
visited fjord system with countless opportunities for exploration,
located within the Northeast Greenland National Park. Cruising through
Kong Oskar Fjord, we marvel at the geological beauty of the mountains.
We will then head south along the coast of Liverpool Land, with our
passage dependent on ice conditions.
We stretch our legs on hikes across tundra in search of ancient
graveyards and summer villages occupied 3,000 years ago by Inuit. We
may see musk oxen, arctic hares and reindeer grazing. The maze of calm,
interconnecting waterways in this area provides excellent opportunities
for sea kayaking. We will see ring seals, perhaps catch a glimpse of
the elusive narwhal, and maybe even a polar bear hunting on pack ice.
Days
15 : Ísafjörður & Vigur Island,
Westfjords
Over
the coming days, we explore the Westfjords region, which features
outstanding landscapes with jaw-dropping views of dramatic fjords
carved by ancient glaciers, sheer, table-top mountains that plunge into
the sea, and pristine north Atlantic vegetation. The region features
attractive towns such as Isafjordur, surrounded by sheer mountains and
steeped in history, evident in its preserved wooden architecture.
Delight in its lively cultural scene and abundant outdoor activities.
On Vigur Island, birdwatchers can try and tick a few species on their
list, while others can enjoy walks and hikes of varying levels of
difficulty, soaking in the stunning surrounds. The island's unique
ecosystem is a haven for birdlife, making it a paradise for nature
enthusiasts. Stroll along the coastline, keeping an eye out for puffins
and other seabirds, or venture deeper into the island to discover
hidden gems. With its rolling hills, picturesque landscapes, and fresh
sea air, Vigur offers an unforgettable experience.
Days
14 : Thingeyri, Westfjords
Thingeyri,
a quaint village nestled on a slender strip of land, graces the shores
of one of Iceland's most picturesque fjords,
Dýrafjörður. Much like many other coastal
settlements in Iceland, the village's culture and industry have been
intricately woven with the influence of the sea over centuries. The
surrounding landscape is adorned with towering mountains, lending a
distinctive charm to the scenic expanse that envelops Thingeyri. This
idyllic region is often hailed as the "Alps of the Westfjords,"
especially the highland area nestled between the majestic fjords of
Dyrafjordur and Arnarfjordur. The beauty of Thingeyri lies not only in
its coastal simplicity but also in the dramatic backdrop of high
mountains that paints a captivating portrait of this Icelandic village.

hardy Norse people lived off the land. Walk through a recreated Viking
area, learning about what is fact and what is fiction in the many
stories you've heard about the famous Vikings. A short hike brings you
to the old ruins of the Viking meeting place called a Thing - the
closest translation in English is 'parliament.' Step inside the
interactive Viking Museum for a chance to dress up in authentic
hand-sewn Viking clothing, take photographs, drink Icelandic Viking
beer, bake your own Viking bread, and explore the museum - all part of
learning more about Viking ways.
Option 2 - Sandafell Mountain Hike
Duration: 3 hours
Level of difficulty: Moderate-Difficult
(dependent on fitness level)
For
avid explorers, Iceland is littered with hidden gems, and possibly the
best-kept secret of all is the Westfjords. Lying in the most
north-westerly area of the island, this sprawling area of natural
beauty is truly a hiker’s paradise. Rocky peaks, deep
crevices, and charming Icelandic towns all add to the appeal of the
Westfjords, not to mention the various hiking trails snaking across the
unusual countryside. Today we will hike Sandafell, offering gorgeous
views over the town, surrounding mountains and the water below.
Immerse
yourself in the tranquillity of the afternoon as we cruise southward,
taking in breathtaking landscapes and keeping a watchful eye for
whales. Later, we'll embark on a Zodiac landing to witness the
awe-inspiring power of Dynjandi waterfall.
Days
17 : Snaefellsnes Peninsula
Grundafjordur
is the starting point of our adventures on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula,
gateway to Snæfellsjökull National Park.
Snaefellsnes Peninsula is an area of diverse landscapes that is
characterised by lava fields and glistening fjords and home to a vast
array of birdlife. The area is crowned by the magnificent, ice-capped
Snæfellsjökull volcano, a 700,000-year-old dormant
subglacial volcano, visible from Reykjavik on a clear day and
immortalised in Jules Verne’s Journey to the Centre of the
Earth.
Personalise your expedition with our included ‘Your
Choice’ experiences that best suits your interests and level
of fitness.
Option 1 - Highlights of Snaefellsness?
Duration: 8 hours
including lunch
Level of difficulty: Easy-Moderate
(dependent on fitness)
Our
first stop will be the iconic Mount Kirkjufell, a favourite among
photographers and known to many as a filming location for the TV show
"Game of Thrones”. Not far from this majestic mountain is a
waterfall that completes the picturesque scene. Next, you'll visit
Snæfellsjökull National Park, encompassing a large
area of Snæfellsnes Peninsula's western tip. For the more
active, explore some incredible hiking trails, or simply enjoy your
drive through the park and take in the beauty that surrounds you.
Continue to the dramatic black pebble beach of
Djúpalónssandur, where you can marvel at the
black sands and colossal rock formations, volcanic landscapes, and
remains of a 1948 shipwreck. Following lunch, re-join the coach to
travel to Búðir, a picturesque hamlet surrounded by
the stunning landscapes of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Stop to
admire Búðakirkja, the 19th-century church and
explore the area before embarking the ship in Arnarstapi.
Option 2 - Natural Wonders of Snaefellsnes?
Duration: 8 hours
including lunch
Level of difficulty: Moderate
Upon
disembarkation, we will stop will be the iconic Mount Kirkjufell, a
favourite among photographers and known to many as a filming location
for the TV show "Game of Thrones”. Not far from this majestic
mountain is a waterfall that completes the picturesque scene.?Next,
you'll step into the 8,000-year-old Vatnshellir Cave, replete with
stunning geology, fascinating rock formations, and colourful volcanic
rock. We will meet at our base near the cave, where your friendly guide
will provide you with all the equipment that you need, including a
helmet and headlamp (we strongly recommend that you wear comfortable
and sturdy footwear, as the volcanic rock can be quite difficult to
traverse). Then your friendly guide will give you a brief safety talk
before we descend the spiral staircase into this subterranean
wonderland. The tour meanders through the path of the lava flow around
200 meters into a large cave that lies around 35 meters beneath the
surface of the earth, where we will be greeted by some rainbow-coloured
volcanic rocks and incredible petrified lava formations. The cave is a
fairly easy walk, although it will involve a degree of climbing.
Following lunch, re-join the coach and travel to Arnarstapi and hike
the coastal trail that connects the two villages of Arnarstapi and
Hellnar. Now a National Reserve, this easy level hike encompasses
geology, wildlife, amazing photo opportunities, folklore and most of
all adventure. This old trail takes us along the wild shoreline with a
view of the ocean and extraordinary columnar basalt and lava cliff
formations on one side and stunning mountains and
Snæfellsjökull Glacier on the other. The cliffs are
alive with a wide range of bird species such as the Arctic Tern, the
kittiwakes, gulls and fulmars.
Option 3 - Snaefellsnes Adventure
Duration: 8 hours
including lunch
Level of difficulty: Moderate-Difficult
The
Land of Fire and Ice is well-known for its incredible landscapes and
contrasting terrains that include several natural and geological
wonders rarely found anywhere else on Earth. The unique geological
history of Snæfellsnes will draw you in where you can explore
sites revealing Iceland's unique geological history up close. Your
first stop is at Eldborg crater, located on a short volcanic rift, just
200 metres in diameter, and 50 metres deep. It is the largest crater on
this rift and was created in an eruption which occurred somewhere
between 5000 and 6000 years ago. Unlike many of Iceland’s
volcanoes, it has a very classic shape, with smooth sloping sides and a
very definite crater. A marked hiking path leads through a
shrub-covered lava field to the top of the crater offering incredible
views of Snaefellsnes National Park. We continue to the symmetrical,
hexagonal-shaped basalt columns at Gerðuberg Cliffs. Stand in
awe at these impressive cliffs, a natural marvel that spans 500 metres.
To enjoy the best view, take a walk by the structures. Climbing up the
cliff is possible but to really soak in the views of this geological
structure, it's best to enjoy a walk alongside the cliffs. Following an
early lunch, re-join the coach and head for the Pufubjarg bird cliff,
home of nesting puffins and fulmars. From here, hike along the rugged
coastline to witness the exceptionally beautiful Londrangar basalt
cliffs, a geologic wonder that looks like a huge rock castle. There are
many local birds here, and they are a noisy bunch. Puffins, but
especially fulmars, nest in the many cavities in the two pillars. From
here you hike across a pretty lava field covered in moss to Malarrif,
where you can see the lighthouse and explore the beach.
Day
18 : Disembark in Reykjavik
During
the early morning, we cruise into Reykjavik and disembark at
approximately 8.00 am. Farewell your Expedition Team and fellow
passengers as we all continue our onward journeys. Transfer to Keflavik
airport.
