ITINERARY
Reykjavik
Day 1
In the centre of Iceland’s sprawling capital city, the modern
organ-pipe-shaped Hallgrimskirkja church dominates the top of town.
Cosy bars, cafes and shops line the surrounding streets heated by
Iceland's geothermal waters. The regenerated harbour is home to a
striking modern concert hall. Popular trips include to the Blue Lagoon,
a geothermal spa near the village of Grindavik, and the Golden Circle
tour taking in Gullfoss Waterfall and the mighty Strokkur geyser in
Thingvellir National Park.
Dynjandi Waterfall
Day 2
Considered one of Iceland’s most impressive falls, the
thunderous Dynjandi waterfall in the Westfjords region gives the
impression of a bridal veil as it spreads down ever-growing cascades.
The walk takes 15 minutes passing five smaller waterfalls.
Isafjordur
Day 3
Surrounded by fjords in the Westfjords region,
Ísafjörður is a bustling
fishing town and cultural center in northwest Iceland
with cafés, restaurants and museums. The
Heritage Museum, also known as the Maritime Museum, houses some of the
country's oldest buildings and explores the region's fishing heritage
through compelling exhibits. Nearby, Osvor is a replica of a
19th-century Icelandic fishing station.
Day at sea
Day 4
Sea days are rarely dull. Take the time to sit back and let the world
go by. The ship’s observation decks provide stunning views of
the passing ocean. A day at sea gives you the opportunity to mingle
with other passengers and share your experiences of this incredible
trip or head to our library which is stocked full of reference books.
Get an expert’s view in one of our on-board lectures or
perhaps perfect your photography skills with invaluable advice from our
onboard professional photographers.
Jan Mayen Island
Day 5
The snow-covered stratovolcano Beerenberg dominates the ice cap and
glaciers at the northeast end of Jan Mayen Island. Halfway between
Svalbard and Iceland, this Norwegian island's only residents are the
Norwegian Armed Forces or meteorological station staff. Purple
saxifrage and endemic dandelions grow next to the black sands, while
northern fulmars, Brünnich’s and black guillemots
and little auks make Jan Mayen an important birding area.
Day at sea
Day 6
Days at sea are the perfect chance to relax, unwind and do whatever
takes your fancy. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the
spa, trying to spot a whale from the deck, reading a chapter or two, or
simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance
to the green days spent exploring on land.
Svalbard
Days 7-9
Svalbard is the kingdom of the polar bears, deep in the Arctic Circle,
featuring varied polar landscapes and gargantuan glaciers. Beyond
magnificent fjords in the north, the remaining sea ice serves as prime
hunting grounds for polar bears. Closer to Longyearbyen, tundra and
beaches replace snow and ice. Alongside 600 polar bears, this Arctic
hotspot is home to walrus, Svalbard reindeer, ringed seals and arctic
fox
Longyearbyen
Day 10
The world's most northerly town, Longyearbyen, on Spitsbergen,
Svalbard's largest island, also claims the most northerly high street
and pub. It's home to The North Pole Expeditions Museum chronicling
early pole-reaching efforts by air. Nearby, Svalbard Global Seed Vault
preserves duplicate seeds from gene banks worldwide. Arctic waters
around are populated by whales, including bowheads and narwhals, while
walruses are regularly seen hauling out.
