Highlights

  • Sail the fjords of NW Spitsbergen, where polar bears roam the ice and whales glide beneath towering, silent glaciers.
  • Step ashore remote Jan Mayen, with its active volcano and tiny weather station—one of Earth’s most isolated outposts.
  • Explore East Greenland’s Scoresby Sound, the world’s largest fjord, rich in Inuit culture and breathtaking Arctic scenery.

Embark on this extraordinary 14-day Arctic odyssey that links the mythic shores of Svalbard, the volcanic solitude of Jan Mayen, the cultural richness of East Greenland, and the dramatic fjords of Iceland’s wild northwest coast. This unique itinerary is a journey through some of the planet’s most remote and least-touched polar landscapes, tracing the historical routes of legendary explorers like Amundsen and Scoresby, while offering a modern-day adventure laced with discovery and wonder.

Departing in the High Arctic during summer, this voyage grants travelers long daylight hours and optimal conditions for wildlife viewing. You’ll explore Northwest Spitsbergen’s glacier-chiseled coastline where polar bears may be seen stalking the ice, reindeer graze the tundra, and Arctic foxes dart across the snow-dusted terrain. Ny-Ålesund, a former coal mining town turned international science hub, offers a rare glimpse into Arctic research life—and the world’s northernmost post office.

Jan Mayen, a surreal, weather-beaten volcanic island hidden in the Arctic Ocean, is a true explorer’s prize—its remote black beaches and glacier-wrapped Beerenberg volcano visible only to a fortunate few. In East Greenland, venture deep into the colossal fjords of Ittoqqortoormiit and Scoresby Sound, where sharp alpine peaks rise above a seascape of sculpted ice, and the colorful homes of Inuit villages offer warmth against a stark, magnificent backdrop.

Throughout your journey, days at sea provide rest and enrichment—attend fascinating lectures, scan the waves for marine life, or simply take in the endless Arctic horizon from the ship’s decks. Zodiac excursions and shore landings led by expert guides allow intimate encounters with nature and culture in these raw, seldom-visited lands.
