    • Jakobshavn, Greenland
    The Wonders of West Greenland. The first chapter of our journey encompasses the majestic coast of West Greenland. Over the next three days you'll experience some of the most iconic sites in all of Greenland. Our objectives include: Evighedsfjord: As we head north, we plan to offer an exploration day in the magical and pristine Evighedsfjord near Maniitsoq. We'll determine on the day what adventures we can take part in. The 'Fjord of Eternity' is fed by an ice cap that calves huge icebergs into its 2,300-foot deep waters. It's surrounded by mist-cloaked mountains with beautiful white ridges, punctuated by crystal blue ice caves. Sisimiut: Sisimiut is Greenland's second city, situated in a spectacular location just above the Arctic Circle. This area has history spanning more than 4,500 years, and old traditions are alive and well. Learn more about ancient Saqqaq artifacts in the local museum or stretch your legs on a hike. If you're looking for a special souvenir, pick up a scarf, hat, or mittens made of qiviut, the inner wool of the musk ox that's said to be ten times warmer than sheep's wool. Ilulissat: Nestled at the edge of the magnificent Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is Ilulissat. Here you'll find an ever-changing gallery of passing icebergs set against a backdrop of colorful houses. In town you can visit a multitude of shops selling local crafts, and on the outskirts walking trails take you along the epic icefjord. ...

    Navigate the dividing line between east and west. The "Rubicon" of the Canadian Arctic, dividing east from west, is the infamous Bellot Strait. This narrow body of water separates the northernmost part of mainland North America from Somerset Island, one of the largest islands in the Canadian Arctic archipelago. Bellot Strait is approximately 15 nautical miles long and just over half a mile wide at its narrowest point. Our ability to navigate this passage will be determined by ice and weather conditions. ...

    • Cruising the Bering Strait
    Science and wildlife watching at sea. As we navigate the Beaufort Sea and Bering Strait, these days at sea provide the perfect opportunity to reflect on your journey and make the most of your ship's facilities. Immerse yourself in the onboard Science and Education program and contribute to real-world research through Citizen Science. Or simply take time to relax - enjoy a drink with fellow explorers, watch the world drift by from the hot tub, or soothe your body and mind in the sauna. Keep an eye out for bowhead and grey whales as we cross the Beaufort Sea to Point Barrow, the northernmost point of the United States. If sea ice is present, we may also see congregations of pacific walrus on the ice floes. In the Beaufort Sea, seasonal sea ice can fluctuate. If the sea ice levels are greater than the seasonal average, it will likely affect the speed we can sail through. Expecting the unexpected is all part of the expedition experience. The highlights of this transit include: Beaufort Sea, Bering Strait, International Date Line, Wildlife watching. ...
