ITINERARY
Day
1 : Reykjavík, Iceland / Embark Ship
Arrive
in Reykjavík, the world’s northernmost capital,
which lies just below the Arctic Circle. Transfer from the airport and
spend the day exploring the city’s sights, sounds and tastes
on your own. Check in with the hospitality desk this afternoon, before
embarking the ship.
Days
2-3 : Crossing the Denmark Strait / At Sea
Sail
across the Denmark Strait, connecting the Arctic and Atlantic Ocean.
The Strait is home to the world's largest waterfall, caused by powerful
currents and glaciers. Listen to talks from experts, relax with a book
in the lounge or on the observation deck and keep an eye out for whales
as the ship travels across the continental shelf.
Days
4-8 : Exploring King Frederick VI Land, Greenland
Spend
the days exploring the coastal wilds of Southeast Greenland, a dynamic
region known for its striking landscapes of towering peaks and active
glaciers which connect to the Greenlandic Ice Sheet. The East
Greenlandic current also spends much of the summer pushing icebergs
down the coast from the North Pole. Experience a true sense of
adventure as you discover unknown, wild areas aboard purpose-built
ships designed to navigate even the most extreme
conditions.
Take
in stunning views from the Bridge of unexplored fjords like
Skjoldungen, Lindenow and Timmiarmiut; Zodiac cruise along glaciers
that continue to push out from the Ice Sheet; and hike into the
backcountry with polar bear guards, keeping an eye out for the newly
established resident population in this region. At archaeological sites
along King Frederick VI Coast, gain insight into the Paleo-Inuit and
Thule peoples who researchers believe inhabited the area between
2500-800 BC.
Day
9 : At Sea
Spend
a relaxing day at sea en route back to Iceland as you take advantage of
the onboard amenities at your own pace. Join the ship’s
officers on the Bridge and keep a watchful eye for migrating whales,
attend an engaging presentation by naturalists and experts, or enjoy a
wellness treatment at the spa.
Day
10 : Reykjavík, Iceland / Disembark Ship
Disembark
in Reykjavík and transfer to the airport for flights
home.
National Geographic Endurance (Luxury Expedition, 138-guests)
The first new polar build in Lindblad's 50-year history, National Geographic Endurance is named to honor explorer Ernest Shackleton and his legendary Transantarctic Expedition.
A fully-stabilized vessel of the highest ice class (PC5 Category A), she will enable adventurous guests to go where few have or can. National Geographic Endurance's most striking exterior feature is her distinctive profile, the patented X-Bow®, a game-changing design that guarantees the smoothest, most comfortable ride in all kinds of conditions; and since it eliminates bow impact, a quieter ride, as well.
