East Greenland & Scoresby Sund, Including Long Hikes

Discover a vast world of polar beauty, on land, at sea, and in the night sky

Prepare to explore the largest fjord system on Earth, dominated by glaciated peaks over 2,000 meters high, and expanses of spectacular, rolling tundra. On long hikes, spend entire days away from the ship, encountering iconic Arctic wildlife in areas untouched by civilization and the modern world. Immense icebergs, tumbling glaciers, and the adventure of a lifetime await! Long hikes Long hikes are for groups of up to 24 passengers, accompanied by two armed expedition staff and a Zodiac that will scout ahead for polar bears along the shoreline. Passengers who join this activity should be willing and able to walk about 15 km (9 miles) over semi-rough terrain, including shorelines, tundra, low hills, and river crossings. Walks will take around six hours from start to finish, including rest times. We will walk at a moderate pace and avoid any alpine terrain. Passengers who do not take part in the long walk will have a morning landing at the start point, then sail to the end point for their second landing in the afternoon.
