Itinerary

1. 1

   Cosmopolitan Reykjavík

   Explore the world's northernmost capital

   Your adventure begins in Reykjavík.

   A laid-back city of art, culture and history, delightful Reykjavík is well worth spending some time getting to know.

   Take a stroll along Laugavegur with its boutiques and outdoor shops, gaze in awe at the striking Hallgrímskirkja

   Church, and drop in on the fascinating Reykjavík Art Museum.

   If you have the time, we recommend booking a Pre-Programme with us and discovering some of Iceland's natural highlights before your cruise begins.

2. 2

   At Sea

   Getting ready for Greenland

   As we sail into the Greenland Sea on our way to the world's largest island, it's time to relax, find your sea legs and get acquainted with the onboard facilities.

   The Expedition Team will give talks about your upcoming adventure and will explain the protocols of respectfully visiting wildlife habitats and Indigenous Arctic communities. In the lecture hall, you'll find out what to expect in the epic landscapes of East Greenland National Park and the stunning fjords of Scoresby Sund.

   If you're feeling active, head to the gym and do a workout with a view. On the other hand, you could soak in the sauna, laze in a hot tub, or just find a quiet corner to read a book with a hot drink. Love science? Then why not join one of our onboard Citizen Science projects, a fun and engaging way to contribute to global research.

3. 3

   Northeast Greenland National Park and Scoresby Sund expedition days

   Explore the wild east

   We'll spend the day exploring Greenland's remote and pristine east coast. Extending for over 1,740 miles from north to south, this long stretch of coast is cold, isolated, and remote even by Greenlandic standards. The south-flowing East Greenland Current brings lots of sea ice directly from the Arctic Ocean, challenging human settlement but creating a heaven for ice-dependent wildlife, including the polar bear.

   Local weather and ice conditions will dictate our exact route, but our plan is to sail first to Scoresby Sund, the world's largest fjord system. You'll feel a deep sense of serenity in this wild and rugged region, with white and blue icebergs floating in mirror-like waters surrounded by looming mountains. If conditions permit, we'll visit Ittoqqortoormiit the most remote inhabited community in the Western Hemisphere.

   Should the sea ice be favourable, we'll continue our journey north to the beautiful Northeast Greenland National Park - the world's largest national park. Visiting this fragile Arctic wilderness is a rare privilege as only a few visitors are permitted here each year.

   Apart from old trapper huts, some science research stations, and a military outpost, there are very few traces of human life in this 375,000 square mile park. Be assured that this is one of the quietest places on Earth, and you'll enjoy a feeling of great peace as we explore this beautiful wilderness.

   As this is an expedition cruise, the Captain and Expedition Team will guide us to the most favourable spots on a daily basis. Our goal will be to pack in as many shore landings, small boat cruises, nature walks, kayaking adventures and wildlife sightings as possible.
