Crossing the Jewels of the Arctic: From Svalbard through East Greenland to Iceland

We begin in Svalbard, where glaciers, fjords and drifting sea ice set the stage for the Arctic world. From there, we push into the pack ice of the Arctic Ocean, cross the Greenland Sea, and spend several days exploring the remote wilderness of East Greenland before concluding in Iceland. Throughout the voyage, daily plans are shaped by ice, weather and wildlife rather than fixed routes. You experience the Arctic as it functions in real time, from vast ice edges and towering fjords to the habitats that sustain polar bears and other Arctic species. By following a continuous route through multiple Arctic regions, we gain a deeper understanding of scale, remoteness and the powerful forces that define life at the top of the world. • A full Arctic crossing from Svalbard through Arctic Ocean pack ice and East Greenland, ending in Iceland, linking several of the most iconic polar regions in one continuous expedition. • Navigation in sea ice and ice edge environments, offering close observation of drifting ice formations and the ecosystems shaped by ice movement. • Exploration of Arctic fjords in both Svalbard and East Greenland, where glaciers descend directly into the sea and dramatic landscapes unfold at multiple scales. • Extended time in Northeast Greenland National Park, one of the largest and least disturbed wilderness areas on Earth. • A rare community visit to Ittoqqortoormiit, offering insight into daily life in one of the most remote inhabited places in the Arctic. • Multi day immersion in the Scoresby Sound, the world’s largest fjord network, with vast icebergs, changing light and powerful geological forms. • Natural conditions suitable for observing polar bears, seals and occasionally whales, particularly around drifting ice and productive Arctic waters.
