The adventure
Embark on an unforgettable Arctic voyage, beginning in Svalbard and sailing along the ice's edge to Greenland. Keep a vigilant eye on the horizon for unique wildlife as you navigate south. This journey offers multiple ways to explore the remote landscape—by ship, on foot, and via Zodiac—showcasing the striking contrasts and changes of the Arctic before concluding in Iceland, "the Land of Fire and Ice." Highlights include visits to an Inuit village, sightings of distinct wildlife, and the exploration of truly remote destinations. Plus, the incredible added wonder of experiencing a partial or even total solar eclipse against the vast, icy backdrop, turning an already spectacular view into an unparalleled cosmic event.
Embark aboard the Expedition in the afternoon and depart Longyearbyen. An arrival transfer is included. Guests should follow the joining instructions provided in their welcome information for luggage drop-off and embarkation details.
Begin the expedition among the dramatic fjords, glaciers and tundra landscapes of northern and northwestern Svalbard. The expedition team will use local weather, sea-ice and wildlife conditions to select the best available opportunities for landings, Zodiac cruises and scenic ship cruising before setting a course toward East Greenland.

Cross the Greenland Sea toward East Greenland. Attend lectures and educational programs led by the expedition team, scan the horizon for whales, seals and seabirds, and watch for drifting pack ice. If conditions safely allow, the ship may explore near the ice edge for a closer look at the polar marine environment.

If conditions safely allow, the ship may explore near the ice edge for a closer look at the polar marine environment.
Spend several days exploring the immense fjords and rugged coastal landscapes of East Greenland. Sail among sculptural icebergs, glacier-carved valleys, steep mountain walls and broad stretches of Arctic tundra as the expedition team selects the most suitable opportunities each day.
On 12 August, the ship intends to position within the Scoresbysund region for the total solar eclipse. Guests are expected to experience the eclipse from aboard the Expedition, with the surrounding fjord scenery forming a remarkable Arctic setting. The precise position and viewing plan will depend on safe navigation, ice, weather and visibility. Solar eclipse viewing glasses will be provided.

Day 2Begin the expedition among the dramatic fjordsOver four full days, explore a small portion of the western coast of Svalbard. Entering the fall the days are getting shorter so try to take advantage of all of the sunlight possible to search for wildlife. Spend these days in search of the elusive polar bears as they hunt seals. Look out for Svalbard's unique subspecies of reindeer. Although much smaller than their southern relatives, they still carry impressive antlers. Keep a sharp lookout for Arctic foxes. By not having a set itinerary, we take on an expedition spirit and are free to take advantage of the best that Svalbard has to offer.

Day 6Cross the Greenland Sea toward East GreenlandFrigid waters drain from the Arctic Ocean in a southwest current along the coast of Northeast Greenland. Often, drifting pack ice is pushed along the coast. We will attempt to approach and follow the pack ice edge to explore the polar seascape. Keep a lookout for sea mammals like seals and whales and also sea birds such as kittiwakes and fulmars.
