DAY 1: Depart North America
Depart from the New York area on an overnight flight to Reykjavík, Iceland. (New York is a convenient gateway for most, but other air alternatives are available.)
DAY 2: Reykjavik, Iceland/Embark
Upon arrival, explore Reykjavík’s Old Town, including Hallgrímskirkja Cathedral and the National Museum with its Viking treasures. Then, embark our ship. (L,D)
DAY 3: Flatey Island, Iceland
Explore Iceland’s wild western frontier. Visit charming Flatey Island, a trading post for centuries, for walks around the 19th-century hamlet, and opportunities to see and photograph numerous species of birds. Zodiac cruise the coast and see where Erik the Red sailed from in the year 982 A.D., bound for Greenland. (B,L,D)
DAY 4: Crossing the Denmark Strait
Cross the Denmark Strait, where the cold east Greenland current carries icebergs south. Enjoy presentations and be on the lookout for northern lights displays at this time of year. (B,L,D)
DAY 5-10: Exploring Northeast Greenland & Scoresbysund
Encompassing roughly 80% of the surface of Greenland, the Greenland ice sheet is the second largest body of ice in the world. Weather and ice will dictate our exact route, but we plan to explore well north of Scoresbysund, in the largest national park in the world—Northeast Greenland National Park. We will also set a course for Scoresbysund, the largest and longest fjord system on earth, with the village of Ittoqqortoormiit at its entrance. Being the end of summer, the ice will have retreated as far as it ever does, allowing us to explore the fjords, bays, nooks and crannies of this stunning coastline. We hope to see the iconic arctic wildlife: polar bears, seals and whales. We'll also be on constant watch for the Northern Lights, conditions permitting. (B,L,D)
DAY 11-12: Crossing the Denmark Strait/Exploring the Westfjords, Iceland
We return across the Denmark Strait headed just south of the Arctic Circle to the Westfjords, a remote area backed by majestic cliffs. Explore Ísafjörður and taste some Icelandic culinary delicacies, or visit a center dedicated to Arctic foxes. Learn about the fishing industry that was the mainstay of this town for generations. (B,L,D)
DAY 13: Reykjavik, Iceland/Disembark/Home
Disembark in Reykjavík with options to visit either the famous Blue Lagoon thermal baths or a hot spring, a geothermal power plant, and an Icelandic horse farm, prior to the flight home. (B,L)
