Day by day
As planned for the Jul 17, 2028 departure; other departures may differ.
Day 1Reykjavík
Arrive in Reykjavík, the world’s northernmost capital, which lies just below the Arctic Circle. Transfer from the airport and spend the day exploring the city’s sights, sounds and tastes on your own. Check in with the hospitality desk this afternoon, before embarking the ship.
Day 2Cruising Denmark Strait
Sail across the Denmark Strait, connecting the Arctic and Atlantic Ocean. The Strait is home to the world's largest waterfall, caused by powerful currents and glaciers. Listen to talks from experts, relax with a book in the lounge or on the observation deck and keep an eye out for whales as the ship travels across the continental shelf.
Day 3Day at Sea
Day 4Dove Bay, King Frederick VIII Land
Spend the days exploring the coastal wilds of Southeast Greenland, a dynamic region known for its striking landscapes of towering peaks and active glaciers which connect to the Greenlandic Ice Sheet. The East Greenlandic current also spends much of the summer pushing icebergs down the coast from the North Pole. Experience a true sense of adventure as you discover unknown, wild areas aboard purpose-built ships designed to navigate even the most extreme conditions.
Take in stunning views from the Bridge of unexplored fjords like Skjoldungen, Lindenow and Timmiarmiut; Zodiac cruise along glaciers that continue to push out from the Ice Sheet; and hike into the backcountry with polar bear guards, keeping an eye out for the newly established resident population in this region. At archaeological sites along King Frederick VI Coast, gain insight into the Paleo-Inuit and Thule peoples who researchers believe inhabited the area between 2500-800 BC.
