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

We begin by sailing north from Reykjavik, leaving familiar coastlines behind and entering some of the least visited waters on Earth. Together, we explore the immense fjord systems of East Greenland, where icebergs, glaciers and untouched tundra define the landscape. We move gradually deeper into the Arctic, transitioning from vast wilderness to the dynamic pack ice zone, where wildlife encounters are shaped entirely by nature and conditions. The journey concludes in Svalbard, combining classic Arctic fjords, scientific heritage and polar wildlife. Throughout the expedition, you experience a rare balance of scale, solitude and discovery, not as isolated moments, but as a coherent progression through the High Arctic 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.
