Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Reykjavik
Depart 18:00
Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital, distils the entire improbable beauty of Iceland into one compact, creatively charged city. The soaring basalt columns of Hallgrímskirkja dominate a skyline of primary-coloured rooftops, while the Harpa Concert Hall shimmers beside the harbour like a captured aurora. Day trips from the city unlock the Golden Circle's geysers and Geysir hot spring, the black sand beaches of Vík, and the ethereal glacier lagoon at Jökulsárlón. Geothermal pools — from the legendary Blue Lagoon to intimate neighbourhood hot pots — offer warmth year-round. June and July bring the bewitching midnight sun.

Day 3
Ittoqqortoormiit (ex Scoresbysund)
Ittoqqortoormiit is one of Earth's most isolated settlements, a 350-person Inuit community at the mouth of the world's longest fjord system on Greenland's remote east coast. Must-dos include Zodiac exploration of the monumental Scoresby Sund fjords, watching for musk oxen on the tundra, and visiting the colorful Arctic community. Mid-July through September offers the narrow window when sea ice permits access.
Day 4
Day 4
Bjornoya
Halfway between Norway and Spitsbergen, you will sail not far from the coastlines of Bjørnøya, the southernmost island of Svalbard. From your ship, observe this isolated piece of land discovered in 1596 by the Dutch navigator Willem Barents, then looking for the Northwest Passage. Following a tough fight between a polar bear and the members of the expedition, he dubbed the place Bear Island. Regularly covered by a thick layer of fog, Bjørnøya shelters a meteorological station built in 1923, which is still in operation. Declared a nature reserve in 2002, the island is above all home to an enormous colony of sea birds: skuas, guillemots, puffins, Tridactyl gulls, petrels, gulls and little auks all coexist here.

Day 5
Ittoqqortoormiit
Ittoqqortoormiit is one of Earth's most isolated settlements, a community of 350 on the shores of the world's largest fjord system in East Greenland, surrounded by cathedral-sized icebergs, muskox herds, and polar bears. Visitors should cruise Scoresby Sund's dramatic ice-filled arms, experience Inuit dog-sledding culture, and watch for polar bears on the sea ice. The brief visiting window of July through September depends entirely on ice conditions.

Day 8
Northeast Greenland National Park
Northeast Greenland National Park is Earth's largest protected area at 972,000 square kilometers, a roadless wilderness of ice caps, the world's longest fjord, and 15,000 muskoxen with zero permanent human residents. Must-dos include cruising Scoresby Sund, observing muskox herds on the tundra, and experiencing the park's profound Arctic silence. July through September offers the navigable window for expedition vessels.

Day 14
Spitsbergen
Spitsbergen is the largest island in the Svalbard archipelago, a thousand kilometres from the North Pole, where polar bears outnumber humans, glaciers calve into pristine fjords, and the midnight sun illuminates an Arctic wilderness of extraordinary beauty. Must-do experiences include Zodiac cruises along glacier fronts, wildlife watching for polar bears and walruses, and visiting the Global Seed Vault in Longyearbyen. June through September is the expedition season.
Day 15
Day 15
Longyearbyen
Longyearbyen, the northernmost permanent settlement in the world, is a unique port in the Svalbard archipelago, rich in history and breathtaking Arctic landscapes. Must-do experiences include savoring local delicacies like reindeer stew and exploring the stunning fjords of Raudfjord and Liefdefjorden. The best time to visit is during the summer months, when the midnight sun illuminates the stunning scenery.

Tromso
Arrive 08:00
Tromsø, perched 300 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle on its own island in a fjord-carved landscape of breathtaking severity, is the world's finest base for witnessing the northern lights — a phenomenon that illuminates the polar night here from late September through March with an intensity unmatched across Scandinavia. The city's striking Arctic Cathedral, vibrant university culture, and excellent Polar Museum trace Norway's heroic age of polar exploration, while dog sledding, snowshoeing, and whale-watching expeditions provide exhilarating encounters with the high Arctic wilderness. Summer's unbroken midnight sun offers an equally otherworldly experience beneath skies that never darken.
