Sailing itineraries

Oslo Longyearbyen
After a flight from Oslo, your adventure begins with an overnight stay in the world's most... see+ northerly town: Longyearbyen.
A colourful frontier settlement with more snowmobiles than people, Longyearbyen is a unique place on the edge of the Arctic wilderness. If you have a bit of time to spare, set off to discover it before enjoying a free, quiet evening. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Longyearbyen
After breakfast, it's time to discover Longyearbyen, which is ideal for a walking tour. Take a... see+ stroll along the main street, where you might spot a Spitsbergen reindeer roaming around. A wild animal that is very curious and not afraid of humans.
Before boarding the ship in the afternoon and continuing your discovery of the Arctic, take part in an included excursion and be amazed by this astonishing region inspired by polar bears at the top of the world. And if you'd like to find out more about Longyearbyen's unique setting, don't hesitate to take part in our optional pre-programme. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Longyearbyen Ny Alesund
Today you'll discover the serenity of Ny-Ålesund, a former mining town and one of the most... see+ northerly communities in the world, strategically located at the entrance to the magnificent Kongsfjord.
Coal deposits were claimed here in 1909. Mining began shortly afterwards with the support of investors from the Norwegian town of Ålesund, hence the name Ny-Ålesund. After operations ceased in 1962, the town was abandoned to its fate, until polar scientists realised that it would make a fantastic base for all kinds of Arctic research.
Today, it is an international centre for climate science and research, including China's Yellow River Station. You can still see remnants of the town's history, closely linked to Roald Amundsen's expeditions north with the airship ‘Norge’.
Enjoy a real day's break, as the proximity of the Norwegian Mapping Authority's geodetic station means we have to turn off our Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Ny Alesund At sea - Greenland
Our crossing of the Greenland Sea to reach the world's largest island will be a time for you to... see+ relax and familiarise yourself with life and facilities on board.
Your expedition team will offer lectures on the adventure ahead, explaining the protocols for visiting wildlife habitats and how we respectfully interact with indigenous Arctic communities. The lectures will give you an insight into the incredible landscapes of the East Greenland National Park and the sumptuous fjords of Scoresby Sund that you will soon be exploring. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
At sea - Greenland
If you're in the mood to work up a sweat, head to the fitness room for a workout with a view.... see+ Alternatively, try the sauna, laze in the hot tubs, feast in the on-board restaurants or find one of the ship's cosy corners to read a book with a hot drink. Do you love science? Take part in the exciting participatory science projects and make your own contribution to global research. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
At sea - Greenland North-East Greenland
We'll be spending the next 8 days exploring Greenland's unspoilt and isolated east coast. This long... see+ ribbon of coastline running 2,800 km from north to south is cold, isolated and remote, even by Greenlandic standards. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
North-East Greenland
The southward-flowing East Greenland Current carries large quantities of sea ice from the Arctic... see+ Ocean, making it difficult for humans to settle here, but creating a haven for ice-dependent wildlife such as polar bears.

Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
North-East Greenland
With the exception of trappers' cabins, a few scientific research stations and a military outpost,... see+ there are few human traces in this 971,245 km² park. This is one of the most tranquil places on the planet, and you'll feel a deep sense of peace as you explore this magnificent wilderness. 
Breakfast
Lunch

North-East Greenland Denmark Strait
After exploring the beauty of wild Greenland, we'll head back to Iceland. You can take advantage of... see+ these days at sea to share your experiences with your new friends, study nature at the Science Centre, attend a lecture or two or simply relax on deck. Watch the seabirds that follow our ship and keep an eye out for whales.
As you reflect on your cruise, from the delicate ecology of the fjord systems to the ethereal elegance of the floating ice, you're sure to realise just how much the beauty of East Greenland has meant to you. 
Breakfast
