Activity options vary depending on destination and operator. Activity level is determined by the range and intensity of activities you choose to participate in. Discuss with your Trip Planner which options are best for you.
Arrive in Reykjavík, the northernmost capital city, located just below the Arctic Circle. After your airport transfer, enjoy the day exploring the city’s attractions at your own pace. Later in the afternoon, check-in at the hospitality desk before boarding the ship.
Cruise across the Denmark Strait, linking the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. The Strait features the world's largest waterfall, created by strong currents and glaciers. Attend expert talks, unwind with a book in the lounge or on the observation deck, and watch for whales as the ship crosses the continental shelf.
Spend the days exploring the coastal wilds of Southeast Greenland, a dynamic region known for its striking landscapes of towering peaks and active glaciers which connect to the Greenlandic Ice Sheet. The East Greenlandic current also spends much of the summer pushing icebergs down the coast from the North Pole. Experience a true sense of adventure as you discover unknown, wild areas aboard purpose-built ships designed to navigate even the most extreme conditions.
Take in stunning views from the Bridge of unexplored fjords like Skjoldungen, Lindenow, and Timmiarmiut; Zodiac cruise along glaciers that continue to push out from the Ice Sheet; and hike into the backcountry with polar bear guards, keeping an eye out for the newly established resident population in this region. At archaeological sites along King Frederick VI Coast, gain insight into the Paleo-Inuit and Thule peoples who researchers believe inhabited the area between 2500-800 BC.
Spend a relaxing day at sea en route back to Iceland as you take advantage of the onboard amenities at your own pace. Join the ship’s officers on the Bridge and keep a watchful eye for migrating whales, attend an engaging presentation by naturalists and experts, or enjoy a wellness treatment at the spa.
