Feast your eyes on the alluring icy blue waters of the polar region as we sail past glaciers calving icebergs to the edge of far-reaching slabs of pack ice that can only be seen in this part of the world. Experience the unique arctic environment, endless days and the rarely seen wildlife that populates it. Spot polar bears, walrus, reindeer and arctic foxes in their natural habitat, while thousands of seabirds, beluga whales track our voyage through this unforgettable icy wilderness.
Experience the wild and fantastic landscapes of Iceland, Jan Mayen and Spitsbergen on our luxury boutique ship. Visit Bear Island enroute to the islets and islands of Spitsbergen. Seabirds fill the rocky cliffs and shorelines here. Reindeer, seals and walruses are plentiful. And of course, the mighty polar bear is king in this unforgiving corner of the world. Explore the remote shores of Jan Mayen Island on a nature walk to the island’s only dwelling, the metrological station. Visit the land of fire and ice, visiting nesting puffin colonies along the way. Discover the phenomena of fjords, spectacular waterfalls and never-ending volcanic scenery.

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula National Park is every Icelandic geological feature you’ve ever thought of in one place. Dramatic cliffs, deep silent fjords and volcanic peaks fill this slice of land known as ‘Little Iceland’. In the north, we’ll cross the Arctic Circle via Grímsey Island, home to Iceland’s largest puffin colony. From Höfn we’ll explore Vatnajökull National Park’s thundering waterfalls and floating icebergs. On a visit to Heimay we’ll learn about its dark past and recent volcanic eruption. We’ll conclude our cruise in cosmopolitan Reykjavik.
Break away to a remote and remarkable region of the world on our 11-day Greenland Discovery: East and West Greenland voyage.
