(Dinner included)

Day 2-5

Spitsbergen

Explore a small portion of the western coast of Spitsbergen over the next three days, seeking out the wildlife and being inspired by the mountain scenery and glaciers. This is a really unique place with a compelling history and unbelievable landscapes – you’ll spend two days searching for polar bears hunting seals and you may also be able to see reindeer. There’ll also be time to visit some of the historic sites here. There’s no set itinerary so you can enjoy exploring freely and seeing the very best at Svalbard has to offer.

(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)

Day 6-7

Greenland Sea

Journey through the icy waters of the Greenland Sea and keep an eye out for the whales which feed here in the summer months. See how many you can spot – from orca, humpback and minke whales, as well as dolphins. There will also be time for lectures from the staff so you can learn more about the history and geography of this area.

(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)

Day 8-11

Northeast Greenland National Park and Ittoqqortoormiit

These days will be spent exploring the fjord system of the Northeast Greenland National Park, including parts of Scorsbysund. Some of the best scenery in the world can be found here and there may be chance for you to see muskox grazing as you wander over the autumn tundra. There will be a visit to the settlement of Ittoqqortoormiit where you’ll have the opportunity to see how the people here live.

(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)

Day 12-13

Denmark Strait

Enjoy a lecture series as you watch for whales in the icy waters, making your way back towards Iceland and the hot springs of Reykjavik. The birdlife along the way is fascinating, with a mix of guillemots, gannets, kittiwakes and fulmars among those which can be seen.

(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)

Day 14

Reykjavík
