Your journey begins in Longyearbyen, gateway to the High Arctic, where colorful houses give way to raw tundra and glacier-clad peaks. From here, you sail into the pristine wilderness of Northwest Spitsbergen National Park—a land of towering ice cliffs, sculpted fjords and drifting pack ice. In this realm of polar bears and walrus, each day is shaped by the elements, with your expert expedition team seeking out the most rewarding landings and Zodiac cruises amid breathtaking Arctic scenery steeped in exploration history.

Crossing the Greenland Sea at the height of summer offers prime wildlife opportunities. Nutrient-rich waters attract humpback, minke and orca whales, while fulmars and kittiwakes wheel overhead. Days at sea are enriched by engaging lectures, panoramic views from deck and the quiet thrill of scanning the horizon for a telltale blow in the mist.

Your adventure deepens as you enter the immense fjord systems of Northeast Greenland National Park, the largest protected national park on Earth. Here, glaciers calve luminous icebergs into still waters, musk oxen roam the tundra and silence reigns supreme. Cruising into Scoresbysund, one of the world’s largest fjord networks, feels like entering a cathedral of ice. A visit to Ittoqqortoormiit—one of Greenland’s most remote settlements—offers a rare cultural encounter and insight into life on the edge of the sea ice.

As you sail south through the Denmark Strait toward Reykjavik, seabirds escort your approach to Iceland’s volcanic shores. Disembarking within walking distance of the capital’s lively streets provides a striking finale—fire and ice meeting in one unforgettable voyage.

Sailing in the Arctic summer means extended daylight, relatively accessible sea ice and peak wildlife activity, maximizing your chances of extraordinary encounters. This expedition is ideal for adventurous travelers, photographers and wildlife enthusiasts eager to connect two remote polar regions in a single sweeping voyage.

By journey’s end, you will have traversed the High Arctic from Svalbard to Iceland, ventured into some of the planet’s least-visited protected wilderness, and followed ancient ice-choked waterways few ever see. It is a voyage that inspires awe, fosters perspective and leaves you forever marked by the magic of the far north.
