    • Helgoland, Germany
    Just off the German mainland, tiny Heligoland was once a base for pirates and the strategic prize for a string of warring nations. Now this peaceful, traffic-free island is better known for its stunning nature and, at certain times of year, its birdlife. If conditions allow, local boats will take us ashore to explore both of Heligoland's distinctive islands. On one island, you can walk the scenic trails along the red cliffs to look out for nesting birdlife, such as northern gannets and common guillemots. On the other, you can stroll along the fine white sands heaped with dunes in search of seals lounging around the shores. ...

    We'll arrive in Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany and one of the greenest urban areas in Europe. There's a lot to see and do in Hamburg, which is sometimes called the "Venice of the North" due to its picturesque canals between Lake Alster and the Elbe River. You'll find many attractions in the old town district of Altstadt, like the St. Nikolai Memorial and the historic street of Deichstrasse. Hamburg is also home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Chilehaus and the world's largest historic warehouse complex in Speicherstadt. Join a tour or discover the city at your own pace. ...

    The first stop on our journey to the Arctic is Esbjerg on the west coast of Denmark's Jutland peninsula. As we approach, look out for the giant "Man Meets the Sea" statues sitting by the shore. Esbjerg is a blend of historic charm and modern Scandinavian chic, and it's easy to get around on foot. A shuttle bus will take you into the center to explore at your leisure. Treat yourself to a typical smorrebrod for lunch. You'll find Denmark's famous open-faced rye bread sandwiches irresistibly displayed in many bakery windows. After lunch, it's time to say goodbye to Denmark as we set sail for Norway. Enjoy an afternoon at sea making the most of your ship's facilities.

    • Haugesund, Norway
    As we reach Norway, we'll head for the region of Haugesund. It's known for its Viking connections, and it was here that King Harald Fairhair first united Norway into a single kingdom. From this royal seat, Norway's kings long controlled the renowned shipping route called Nordvegen, or "the way to the north", from which the country takes its name. Today, this Viking past lives on in the area's many historic sites. If conditions allow, we'll visit a recreated Viking settlement on the small island of Bukkoya, and on nearby Karmoy, you can delve deeper into Norway's Viking and maritime history at the Nordvegen History Center. ...

    In the morning, we plan to cruise deep into Sognefjorden, the longest and deepest fjord in Norway, to the tiny hamlet of Fjaerland. Only 300 people live in this idyllic village, with its many charming old buildings and its own weaving traditions. This is also the place where Sognefjorden meets Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier on the European continent. A visit to the Norwegian Glacier Museum is the included activity of the day. Learn why glacier ice is blue and how the fjords were formed. You can even perform a few experiments with 1,000-year-old glacier ice and watch a panoramic film about Europe's largest glacier. ...

    Soak up breathtaking panoramas in this fjordside town. Nestled at the end of the Romsdalsfjord, Andalsnes is surrounded by soaring mountains, deep valleys, and dramatic fjords. The scenery around this alpine town is simply awe-inspiring. To take it all in, hop on the gondola from the town center for the five-minute scenic journey up Mount Nesaksla, some 2,300 feet above sea level. Here you can revel in 360-degree views of the town and the towering mountains of Romsdalshorn and Venjetinden beyond.

Covering 230 square miles and with 60 "tongues", this incredible geographical feature is Norway's second-largest glacier after Jostedalsbreen. Meaning "black ice", the epic Svartisen is made up of two separate glaciers, Vestisen and Ostisen, which are divided by the half-mile-long Vesterdalen valley. The ice color can range from turquoise to dark blue, although never quite black. If conditions allow, your Expedition Team will land at a local jetty and lead you ashore, where we'll take a hike to get a panoramic view of this incredible glacier. ...

    Follow in the footsteps of polar explorers at the gateway to the Arctic. Set in a majestic landscape, this small, cosmopolitan city has an exciting past and plenty of fascinating sights to discover. It was the base for many a historic Arctic expedition, including those of Roald Amundsen, and its position 250 miles north of the Polar Circle has led to it being called the "Gateway to the Arctic". At the Polar Museum, discover the city's exploration heritage and see the Arctic Cathedral-with its huge stained-glass window, it's one of the most striking landmarks in Tromso. You can also take the Fjellheisen cable car to the top of Storsteinen for incredible views. ...

Over the next three days, you'll visit some of the world's most dramatic fjords and see glaciers preparing to calve icebergs into the sea. Making our way to Northwest Spitsbergen National Park, we'll cruise into deep fjords headed by sparkling glaciers that flow into the blue water. Each day will be different. From landings to kayaking, be ready for anything as your captain and Expedition Team decide on the best landing sites and activities based on the day's conditions. Perhaps we'll head to the snowcapped peaks of Hornsund or visit Ny-Alesund, the starting point for Roald Amundsen's expeditions north with the airship "Norge". Nowadays, the town is a hub for global science and climate research, and you can still see remnants of its history.
