Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Helsinki
Helsinki’s port is a gateway to a captivating blend of history, modern architecture, and vibrant culture, making it a must-visit destination in the Baltic Sea. Highlights include savoring traditional Finnish dishes at the lively Market Square and exploring nearby attractions like the UNESCO-listed town of Rauma. The best season to visit is during the summer months when the city comes alive with festivals and outdoor activities.
Day 2
Day 2
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.
Day 3
Day 3
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.

Westfjords
The Westfjords are Iceland’s wildest, least-visited corner—a 16-million-year-old peninsula of deep fjords, the bridal-veil Dynjandi waterfall, and Látrabjarg’s massive bird cliffs where puffins nest within arm’s reach. Must-dos include hiking to Dynjandi’s thundering cascades, photographing puffins at Látrabjarg, and tasting Arctic char in Ísafjörður. Visit June through August when the midnight sun illuminates the fjords and roads are passable.
Day 15
Day 15
Reykjavik
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.
