Day 1 Reykjavik, Iceland
Reykjavik is the world's northernmost capital, an unusually walkable city where colourful corrugated-iron houses line streets that lead between geothermal outdoor pools, the Hallgrímskirkja church, and the Harpa Concert Hall on the waterfront. The city is the base for Iceland's extraordinary natural experiences — the Northern Lights, the Golden Circle, and the Blue Lagoon all within easy reach.
Day 2 At Sea
Days 3-4 King Oscar Fjord
King Oscar Fjord is a major fjord system in eastern Greenland, 110 kilometres deep and up to 25 kilometres wide, named in 1899 by explorer A.G. Nathorst after Oscar II, King of Sweden and Norway. The surrounding area supports arctic wildlife including lemmings, musk oxen, arctic hares, foxes, and ptarmigan, with wolves and polar bears seen more rarely. The fjord marks the border with the Scoresby Sund system.
Days 5-7 Scoresby Sund
Scoresby Sund is the world's largest fjord system, a labyrinthine network of islands, fjords, and icebergs on Greenland's east coast named for the explorer who mapped it in 1822. The only settlement, Ittoqqortoormiit, supports a small Inuit population, while the surrounding wilderness holds musk oxen, Arctic foxes, walrus, narwhal, and one of the Arctic's richest concentrations of marine mammals.
Day 8 Ittoqqortoormiit
Ittoqqortoormiit, meaning Big House Dwellers, was founded in 1925 when around 70 Inuit were relocated from Ammassalik to this remote spot on the southern tip of Liverpool Land. Some 460 inhabitants make it one of Greenland's most isolated settlements, with access to the rest of the country only via Nerlerit Inaat Airport at Constable Point, 38 kilometres north. Hunting narwhals, seals, polar bears, and muskoxen remains an important part of life here.
Day 9 Isafjordur, Iceland
Isafjordur hangs on a spit rolling into the scenic Skutulsfjordur in Iceland's Westfjords Peninsula, with plunging mountains and gouged fjords forming a colossal backdrop to a lively town of cafes, restaurants, and half-timber houses. The Maritime Museum explores the town's seafaring heritage, while Hornstrandir Nature Reserve's emerald marshes lie further afield. Vigur Island offshore is home to puffins, Arctic terns, and traditional farming traditions.
Day 10 Dynjandi waterfall, Iceland
The Dynjandi waterfall is located in the Westfjords region of Iceland and is regarded as one of the country's most impressive waterfalls. At the top, the cascading water is roughly 100 feet wide and tumbles approximately 330 feet into the fjord. Its name means the thundering one, and it has also been nicknamed The Bridal Veil for the way the water sprays and spreads over the rocks.
Day 11 Reykjavik
Reykjavik is the world's northernmost capital, an unusually walkable city where colourful corrugated-iron houses line streets that lead between geothermal outdoor pools, the Hallgrímskirkja church, and the Harpa Concert Hall on the waterfront.
