ITINERARY
Day
1 : Tromsø, Norway / Embark Ship
Arrive
in Tromsø, known as the “gateway to the
Arctic” due to the large number of Arctic expeditions that
originated here. Transfer to the meeting place in the city and spend
the day exploring at your own pace. Check in with the hospitality desk
this afternoon before embarking the ship.
Day
2 : Tysfjorden
This
morning, enter the long fjord of Tysfjorden, where only a few small
villages cling to the rocky shores. Glide beneath the fjord’s
steep walls on Zodiac and kayak excursions, and explore Hellemobotn
Fjord, which reaches far inland, ending just a few miles from the
border of Sweden.
Day
3 : Lofoten Islands
The
Lofoten archipelago boasts an enchanting landscape of picturesque
villages ringed by jagged granite peaks. Enjoy village walks and island
explorations as you venture through an area known for its dramatic
landscapes and its cod fishing traditions throughout the centuries. A
bit later, admire one of Norway’s most dramatic fjords from
the deck as the ship navigates through Trollfjorden.
Days
4-5 : Exploring the Fjords of Norway
Carved
by glaciers over millions of years, Norway’s northern coast
is laced with steep-walled fjords, mountainous islands and chiseled
peaks. Cruise in a Zodiac along vertical rock faces, kayak through
serene fjords or go ashore on a secluded sandy beach to hike amid
verdant valleys and birch forests.
Days
6-8 : At Sea / The Shetland Islands, Scotland
Spend
a relaxing day at sea as you sail toward the Shetland Islands, an
archipelago of about one hundred islands and islets located north of
the Scottish mainland. Glide past the towering cliffs of Noss to look
for murres, puffins, kittiwakes and other seabirds. This evening, dock
overnight in Lerwick.
Lerwick
is Shetland's only official town with a little more than 7,000
inhabitants. Spend the morning delving into your choice of interests,
from the ruins of Jarlshof, the Lighthouse and bird cliffs of Sumburgh
Head, or by heading to the quieter western villages to hike, birdwatch
and meet local fisherman. After dinner, the ship will attempt a landing
at Foula, part of the Shetland Archipelago. Conditions permitting,
enjoy an evening exploration on this remote island.
The
last day in Shetland is spent anchored in a secluded fjord, just below
the Hermness Nature Reserve. For nature lovers, there is no limit to
the number of discoveries waiting along its paths, notably its
extensive moorland and dramatic bird cliffs. For those looking to
understand the cultural heritage of Shetland and the island of Unst,
visit their cultural center and Viking project with reconstructed
longhouse.
Days
9-10 : The Faroe Islands
This
morning, arrive in the Faroe Islands, an autonomous archipelago within
the Kingdom of Denmark. The legacy of the Vikings persists here,
reflected in the language of the Faroese and their love of the sea.
Visit Tórshavn, the colorful capital of the Faroe Islands,
where even the government buildings are crafted in the traditional
design of wooden siding with a turf roof. See the 12th-century St.
Olav’s Church alongside the ruins of Kirkjubøur
Cathedral, which was never completed. Navigate through the islands to
one of the local communities on Eysturoy, the second largest island in
the Faroes. Enjoy a day alongside villagers, experiencing the warm
hospitality and stunning landscapes of their beautiful fjord.
Days
11-12 : At Sea / Seyðisfjörður, Iceland /
Grímsey
After
a morning at sea, arrive at Iceland’s rugged eastern coast,
an unspoiled stretch of rocky outcrops, hidden coves and hills that
beckon hikers. Visit Seyðisfjörður, known for
its charming fishing village, and visit Skálanes Nature
Reserve with its colorful wildflowers and bird cliffs. Continue to
Grímsey on the Arctic Circle.
Days
13-14 : Westfjords
The
Westfjords of Iceland are notably some of the most remote fjords in the
country with many nooks and crannies or fjords and islands to explore.
Spend two days enjoying expedition activities across this dynamic
corner of Iceland, meeting locals who call this region home and using
the ship as a platform of adventure and discovery.
Day
15 : Reykjavík / Disembark Ship / Home
Disembark
in Reykjavík and transfer to the airport for flights home.
National Geographic Resolution (Luxury Expedition, 138-guests)
National Geographic Resolution, is named to honor the second voyage of the legendary Captain James Cook. 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 Resolution'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.
