ITINERARY
Day
1: Arrive in Helsinki, Finland
Your
Arctic adventure begins in Helsinki, renowned for its extraordinary
architecture and intriguing mix of eastern and western influences. If
you arrive early, explore the many museums, galleries and restaurants,
relax at a Finnish sauna or wander the vibrant Design District before
retiring at your included hotel.
Day
2: Fly to Longyearbyen, Svalbard & Embark
After
breakfast, the group will transfer to the airport and board our private
charter flight to Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen’s largest
settlement, as part of the transfer package. As you embark this
afternoon, you’ll enjoy great views of the mountainous
landscape that serves as a backdrop for this seaside town.
Day
3 to 6: Exploring Spitsbergen, Svalbard
Exploring
Spitsbergen, the largest island of the Norwegian Svalbard archipelago,
rewards you with austere beauty and opportunities to spot its abundant
wildlife. Here, you’ll visit spectacular glacier fronts and
tundra in full bloom, with walrus, polar bears and Svalbard reindeer
amongst your possible wildlife sightings. Birders will be thrilled to
see Arctic terns, skuas, Bru?nnich’s guillemots, black-legged
kittiwakes and ivory gulls. If conditions allow, you could sail within
10 degrees of the North Pole!
Day
7 & 8: Cruising
While
sailing south through the Greenland Sea, your Expedition Team will
teach you about the wildlife and history of Greenland, your next stop.
On deck, you’ll learn to identify seabirds on the wing. Take
in a presentation, share your photos, sip an icy cocktail in the bar or
watch a film—there are many things to do during your time at
sea.
Day
9 to 12: Exploring East Greenland
During
your tour of Greenland’s remote eastern coast,
you’ll enjoy Zodiac cruises and shore visits to several
locations. Explore the remains of ancient Thule settlements and keep an
eye out for grazing muskoxen—40 percent of the
world’s muskoxen population lives here. Finally, you will
sail through spectacular Scoresbysund, the birthplace of many icebergs
and, some say, the most beautiful fjord system in the world. If
conditions allow, you may also visit Ittoqqortoormiit, the most remote
community in East Greenland.
Day
13 & 14: Cruising
As
we sail south, the Denmark Strait is your pathway toward Iceland. Your
Expedition Team will keep you informed and entertained with
presentations about the history of exploration in the Arctic and the
seabirds you’ll see soaring above your ship.
Day
15: Depart Reykjavik, Iceland
You’ll
disembark in Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital, at the end of your
journey. If you have booked post-expedition accommodation, we provide a
transfer
to
a central downtown location.
