Voyage Overview

Voyage Highlights

From Reykjavík to Greenland

Setting sail from Reykjavík, we’ll head to Scoresby Sund, an immense system of fjords and glaciers spanning over 24,000 square miles. Expect majestic fjord landscapes and historical ruins, and the potential visit to one of the most remote communities in the world.

From Greenland to Svalbard

Farther north, we’ll head to Greenland to explore Northeast Greenland National Park. This gigantic natural reserve of 375,000 square miles occupies the remote northeastern quarter of the country. Here, with some luck, you might see iconic Arctic species like musk oxen before heading towards Svalbard and visiting Ny-Ålesund.
