East Greenland and Svalbard – A True Arctic Expedition
East Greenland and Svalbard – A True Arctic Expedition
Epic Arctic scenery and pristine wilderness
Awe-inspiring Svalbard
From Reykjavík, we’ll sail to picturesque Ísafjörður before heading towards volcanic Jan Mayen - one of our planet’s most remote places. Continuing to stunning Svalbard, we'll visit some of Spitsbergen’s most remarkable fjords and witness awe-inspiring vistas, from the towering mountains of Hornsund to the lush, glacier-carved valleys of Isfjorden.
Greenland’s majestic fjords
Sailing along Greenland’s pristine east coast, we’ll head for Scoresby Sund and spend three days exploring the serene 15,000 square-mile expanse of fjords and glaciers. A community visit to remote Ittoqqortoormiit rounds off our adventure before we return to Reykjavík where it all began.
