Your Arctic expedition begins in Reykjavik. Explore Iceland's capital city on your own before spending the night at your included hotel.

In the morning, the group will transfer to the airport and board a private charter flight to Kangerlussuaq, a small town at the eastern head of Sondre Stromfjord, one of the longest fjords in the world. After embarking your ship, enjoy time on deck, taking in your new surroundings as you set sail on your arctic expedition.

Cruise the Davis Strait, during which the Expedition Team will prepare you for the adventures that await. Learn about the storied history and politics of the Arctic, its fascinating wildlife geology, ecology and climate, and the incredible sights you will soon witness. Keep a lookout for seabirds soaring above your ship, as well as whales which are known to frequent the waters here.

Baffin Island is the fifth-largest island in the world, named after English navigator William Baffin, who ventured to the area in the early 17th century in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. Your days sailing along the island's eastern coast will be guided by weather and ice conditions, with each day and each landing presenting new adventures. Towering mountains, deep fjords, colourful tundra and Inuit settlements await.

As your ship sails farther north, enjoy presentations by onboard experts, enjoy a cocktail, watch a movie or join your Expedition Team on the lookout for wildlife - there is no shortage of activities whilst at sea.

Gateway to the Northwest Passage, Lancaster Sound is one of the richest marine habitats in the Arctic. With open water areas staying ice-free all year, it is an important summer feeding area for whales and other marine wildlife. Here explore several of the beautiful bays and inlets, discover historical sites, enjoy Zodiac cruises and search for iconic wildlife such as walrus, seals, and of course, whales. Polar bear sightings are also possible here. You may even spot the elusive Narwhal!

Before bidding farewell to Canada, your ship will push as far north as possible, exploring both sides of Smith Sound, the uninhabited passage between Ellesmere Island and Greenland. Experience a true expedition as weather and ice determine how far north you will explore.

Return to Greenland and sail along the remote northwest coast, an area of impressive icebergs and huge glaciers. Qaanaaq, formerly known as Thule, is one of the northernmost towns in the world. Here, local Inuit share their culture and traditions and shed light on life near the top of the world.

You will continue sailing along the west coast of Greenland today. Enjoy presentations by onboard experts to prepare you for the adventures that lie ahead in west Greenland.

Boasting spectacular glaciers, mountainous landscapes, dramatic fjords and vibrant communities, the west coast of Greenland will leave you breathless. Explore Uummannaq, quite possibly the most picturesque place in Greenland, plus llulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
