    Patreksfjordur, Iceland, Iceland
    • Patreksfjordur, Iceland, Iceland
    Visit beautiful waterfalls, and see the impressive cliffs on the western edge of Iceland. The small village of Patreksfjordur is unforgettably beautiful. Here, you can enjoy a dip in an outdoor pool and enjoy wonderful scenic views of the fjord. If you're feeling active, you can explore the surrounding area on a hike through the fjords. You can also join an included tour to Dynjandi waterfalls - six falls combined that together make the largest and most spectacular falls in the Westfjords. An included excursion takes you to visit the cliffs at Latrabjarg. Here you'll see Europe's largest bird cliff, where puffins, northern gannets, guillemots, and razorbills can be observed during the nesting season. In any case, Latrabjarg offers awe-inspiring scenery and is at the very western edge of Iceland. ...

    Appetite for adventure. As we sail towards Jan Mayen, relax and take advantage of our expedition ship's great onboard facilities. Your Expedition Team will explain the protocols of respectfully visiting wildlife habitats and indigenous Arctic communities. In the Science Center, learn what to expect in the epic fjords of Greenland and in the Svalbard archipelago, Norway's stunning Arctic wonderland. Join one of the Citizen Science projects and contribute to global research, if you feel like helping out. Then hit the gym, relax in the hot tub, warm up in the sauna, or enjoy a delicious meal in one of the three onboard restaurants. ...

    Jan Mayen, Norway
    • Jan Mayen, Norway
    Visit an active volcano that's a haven for birdlife. Jan Mayen has no permanent residents and visits to the island are rare. We're one of the few to even attempt landings here. If conditions are favorable, you may set foot on one of Earth's most remote places. Jan Mayen's surreal, moss- and lichen-streaked landscape is dominated by the volcanic cone of Mount Beerenberg. It's the world's northernmost active volcano, which last erupted in 1985. You won't see land mammals, but the island is designated an Important Bird Area, supporting large populations of northern fulmars, Brunnich's guillemots, and little auks. Look out for abundant marine life in the waters, including whales and seals. ...

    Unwind and prepare for Svalbard. This day sailing the Arctic waters toward Svalbard is a great chance to relax onboard the ship.

This is your chance to get away from your busy world and reflect on the wild beauty surrounding you. Don't miss fascinating lectures given by members of the Expedition Team (sometimes out on deck), which cover topics including Arctic history, geology, and wildlife. ...

    • Ny Alesund, Norway
    On expedition in Svalbard. Our daily activities in this remote Arctic peninsula will be determined by the ever-changing weather conditions and the expertise of the Expedition Team. The first planned stop is Hornsund, one of Svalbard's most beautiful fjords. Rich, colorful vegetation transforms into towering mountains along this picturesque waterway. We then hope to journey north past the snow-capped cliffs of Bellsund as we head toward Isfjord. The lush fjord system here and the immense, glacier-carved valleys are rich in wildlife, flora, and human history. Our last planned stop in Svalbard is Ny-Alesund. It is known as the northernmost settlement in the world and the starting point for many renowned Arctic expeditions. ...

    Learning and leisure time. After the last few days in Svalbard, you'll no doubt have lots of photos and a hunger to learn more about the destinations on our voyage. As we cross the Greenland Sea, the Expedition Team will be giving lectures and answering your questions about the destinations. You can use this time to enjoy the ship's facilities and take it easy. Head out on deck with a pair of binoculars and look for wildlife, including whales and the seabirds that follow the ship. You could also find a cozy corner inside to read a book with a hot drink. ...

    • Scoresbysund, Greenland
    Soak up serenity in the world's largest fjord system. Prepare to be awed. Local conditions will dictate our exact route, but our plan for the next three days is to explore east Greenland's Scoresby Sund, the world's largest fjord system. You'll feel a deep sense of serenity in this wild and rugged landscape, with white and blue icebergs floating in mirror-like waters, surrounded by looming mountains. We will make the most of current conditions and pack in as many shore landings, nature walks, kayaking tours, and wildlife sightings as possible. This is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Whether you want to be active or just soak up the serenity is up to you. ...

    • Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland
    Get an insight into authentic Greenlandic life. After our expedition in Scoresby Sund, we return to (sparse) civilization. Ittoqqortoormiit is the only permanent settlement in the region. It is located on an Arctic peninsula that is encased by sea ice for nine months of the year. This makes the settlement the most remote inhabited community in the western hemisphere! Ittoqqortoormiit was founded in 1925 as a hunting and fishing town. That cultural legacy is still easy to observe. Less than 500 brave souls call this remote outpost home, and they'll be proud to show you around and give you a warm welcome. ...
