    Oslo, Norway
    • Oslo, Norway
    Your expedition begins in Oslo, Norway's fjord-side capital, a city rich in history with a thriving art scene. Wander the Ekebergparken sculpture park, admire the striking Opera House and Munch Museum, relax in a floating sauna on the harbor, or head to Sorenga for urban beach life and New Nordic cuisine, before settling in for the night in an airport hotel. ...

    Cruise Begins
    • Cruise Begins
    • Longyearbyen, Norway
    After an early breakfast, you'll fly to Longyearbyen. A short panoramic bus tour offers a first glimpse of the town and its surroundings before lunch. Afterwards, enjoy some free time in Longyearbyen before being transferred to the ship for boarding. This former coal-mining settlement is small and easy to explore on foot. Wander along the main street, lined with boutique shops, an art gallery, and inviting restaurants. You might even spot a Svalbard reindeer wandering by. Come evening, we'll set sail. ...

    Spitsbergen, Norway
    • Spitsbergen, Norway
    Spitsbergen, Svalbard's largest island, is a wilderness of steep mountains, glaciers, and scattered offshore islands. Over the next few days, we'll explore dramatic fjords where glaciers creak and calve icebergs into the sea, push north towards Northwest Spitsbergen National Park where sea ice may shape our route, and scan for the wildlife that thrives here: polar bears, walruses, Arctic foxes, reindeer, and colonies of seabirds nesting on the cliffs. Each day will be different. Landings, Zodiac cruises, kayaking, hikes: be ready for anything as your captain and Expedition Team read the conditions and seize every opportunity the Arctic offers. ...

    At Sea
    • At Sea
    Take advantage of a day sailing through Arctic waters to relax onboard the ship. Watch the Arctic waters slip by from the Explorer Lounge & Bar, soak in a hot tub on deck while scanning for seabirds, or simply take in the panoramic views with fellow explorers. The Expedition Team will bring the journey to life with lectures on local history, geology, and Arctic wildlife. Visit the Science Center for deeper insight into the places ahead, or join a Citizen Science project and contribute to real, ongoing research. ...

    Jan Mayen, Norway
    • Jan Mayen, Norway
    Today, we reach Jan Mayen, a volcanic island suspended 500 kilometers offshore with no permanent residents and almost no visitors. The only inhabitants are temporarily stationed Norwegian military personnel, meaning we join a very select group given the chance to set foot here. Dominated by Beerenberg, the world's northernmost active volcano, the landscape feels almost alien: volcanic rock, moss, and lichen stretching to the horizon. Conditions permitting, we'll go ashore to explore. While there are no land mammals, Jan Mayen is a designated Important Bird Area, home to large colonies of northern fulmars, Brunnich's guillemots, and little auks. Keep watch for whales and seals in the surrounding waters too. This is one of the true highlights of any Arctic expedition. ...

    At Sea
    • At Sea
    On this day at sea sailing west towards Greenland, time is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Relax on deck with a book, share memories of the past few days with fellow travelers in the Explorer Lounge, or join the Expedition Team to find out what awaits in eastern Greenland and northern Iceland. Before you know, you'll spot the first icy peaks rising on the horizon before the day is done. ...

    Scoresbysund, Greenland
    • Scoresbysund, Greenland
    With stunning white-and-blue icebergs, mirror-like waters, and looming mountains, the scenery in Scoresby Sund is spectacular and the scale almost incomprehensible. Over these few days, we'll make the most of conditions, packing in as many shore landings, nature walks, kayaking tours, and wildlife encounters as possible. In summer, the open waters draw remarkable wildlife: musk oxen, Arctic foxes, mountain hares, whales, and seals. Birdlife thrives here too, including little auks, Atlantic puffins, fulmars, snowy owls, Greenlandic gyrfalcons, and great black-backed gulls. Beyond the small Inuit community of Ittoqqortoormiit that calls it home, these carved glacier walls remain a mystery to most. These days are your chance to explore it in all its sublimity. ...

    After the adventures of East Greenland, a day at sea might feel like a welcome rest. MS Fram glides through the North Atlantic towards our final destination: northwest Iceland. Whether you work up a sweat in the gym, take a little R&R in your cabin, or join the Science & Education Program, this time is yours to enjoy. ...

    Grundarfjordur, Iceland
    • Grundarfjordur, Iceland
    Snaefellsnes is a peninsula of dramatic coastlines, volcanic peaks, lava fields, black-sand beaches, and traditional fishing villages, all set beneath the glacier-capped Snaefellsjokull volcano. It inspired Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth, and it's often called Iceland in miniature because almost every landscape the country is known for can be found here in one compact stretch of coast. From our port in Grundarfjordur, overlooked by the iconic Kirkjufell mountain, you can join excursions around the peninsula or explore the surroundings on foot. ...

    Reykjavik, Iceland
    • Reykjavik, Iceland
    Your expedition ends in Reykjavik, a city that rewards a longer look. Stroll Laugavegur for independent shops and coffee, take in the striking Hallgrimskirkja church, or lose an afternoon in the city's galleries and museums. If you can, consider staying an extra night.
