Sailing itineraries

Bodo
We arrive in Bodø, and in the afternoon, we board our expedition ship, where we are welcomed by... see+ the guides and crew. Once we have set sail, our journey takes us towards the dramatic Lofoten Islands. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Bodo Vedoya
After breakfast, we embark on our first excursion in our sturdy Zodiacs around the spectacular... see+ Vedøya, where we have a chance to see nesting seabirds, such as the distinctive puffin. Occasionally, we may also spot sea eagles here. Our journey continues along the southern side of what is colloquially known as the Lofoten Wall, a vast collection of rugged islands that majestically rise from the sea. We go ashore and explore the small fishing village of Reine, which quietly gazes out over Kirkefjorden. With its characteristic wooden houses framed by dramatic mountain peaks, Reine has been voted the most beautiful place in Norway. Here, we also venture out in our Zodicas to explore the surroundings. 
Activities: Includes: Zodiac trip around Vedøya, Visit to the fishing village of Reine, see+
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Vedoya Trollfjorden
Nous poursuivons notre voyage le long de la muraille des Lofoten et traversons le Trollfjorden, qui... see+ est aussi magique que son nom l'indique. Un peu plus tard, nous prenons le large et mettons le cap sur l'île aux Ours. Après quelques heures de mer, nous atteignons des zones d'observation des baleines bien connues qui s'étendent le long du plateau continental. Au cours de notre voyage, nous avons la chance de voir des baleines et nous sommes constamment à l'affût depuis le pont. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Trollfjorden Barents Sea
We continue at sea towards higher northern latitudes. During interesting lectures on board, we... see+ receive an introduction to Bear Island's intriguing history. Naturally, we keep watching for whales! 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Barents Sea Bear Island
With solid Zodiacs, we explore this fascinating rocky island in the middle of the Barents Sea. Its... see+ remoteness means that only a few ships each year have the opportunity to stop for a visit. On the 400-metre vertical cliffs, we find one of the North Atlantic's largest seabird colonies. Here, tens of thousands of Brünnich's guillemots nest, along with puffins, razorbills, black guillemots, kittiwakes, and glaucous gulls. If the weather and winds are favourable, we will attempt a landing on this rarely visited island. We then continue our journey into the Arctic waters. We sail overnight and, by the following afternoon, we sight the Svalbard archipelago – one of the world's most magnificent wilderness areas. 
Activities: Includes: Zodiac excursion around Bear Island, see+
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Bear Island Svalbard
In May, Svalbard offers visitors a wondrous purity, beautiful pastel colours, and breathtaking... see+ views. The midnight sun's rays fall on glistening ice formations, the fjord ice is thick, and the mountain peaks are snow-covered. It is spring in the Arctic, and being there as Svalbard awakens to life is a powerful experience. In this Arctic archipelago, we naturally keep an eye out for polar bears, walruses, and other iconic wildlife, but above all, we enjoy the magical nature that surrounds us. It is early in the season, and our exact itinerary over the coming days will be influenced by weather and ice conditions. With our Zodiacs, we explore the enchanting winter landscape in some of Svalbard's most beautiful fjords, making landings whenever possible. 
Activities: Includes: Zodiac excursion in Svalbard, see+
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Svalbard Storfjorden
In the vast Storfjorden, between Edgeøya and Spitsbergen, drift ice is often present at this time... see+ of year, and only then will we know how far north we can go. On the southern part of Spitsbergen lies Isbukta. In this spectacular bay, we enjoy magnificent views of snow-covered mountain peaks and the mighty glacier front of Vasil'evbreen. The bay is also a popular spot for ivory gulls, skuas, and bearded seals. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Storfjorden Hornsund
Majestic Hornsund consists of several magnificent fjords on the southwest coast of Spitsbergen,... see+ where glaciers calve magically blue-tinged icebergs. 
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Hornsund Bellsund
On the mountain slopes at beautiful Vårsolbukta in Bellsund, tens of thousands of little auks... see+ nest. We go ashore and hike across the tundra towards the bird cliff, where we can enjoy the charming birds circling around us up close. 
Activities: Includes: Hiking in Bellsund, see+
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Bellsund Isfjorden
At the entrance to Isfjorden lies the distinctive bird cliff Alkhornet, a pointed rock several... see+ hundred metres high. Here, we go ashore to enjoy the snow-covered tundra and birdlife, including barnacle geese, Brünnich's guillemots, glaucous gulls, snow buntings, and tens of thousands of kittiwakes. In the crevices around the bird cliff, several Arctic foxes have their dens, and if we are lucky, we will see these cute, small animals frenetically searching for food.
