Set sail on the Jewels of the Arctic: Greenland Solar Eclipse, a 15-day expedition that begins in Oslo and ends in Reykjavík, delivering a rare convergence of celestial wonder and polar grandeur. This is your chance to witness a total solar eclipse above icy fjords, framed by towering cliffs and drifting icebergs.
From Oslo, you fly north to the rugged beauty of Svalbard—where near-endless daylight reveals glaciers, pack ice, walrus haul-outs, and the haunting cry of seabirds on cliff faces. Time layers itself gently here under one of the planet’s most pristine skies. Then turn toward East Greenland: Scoresby Sund opens like a dream, massive fjords carved by ancient ice, glittering icebergs drifting in fjord mouths, and tundra alive with fireweed and wildflowers.
Expect remote villages such as Ittoqqortoormiit, where traditions endure and the landscape is as much shaped by people as by ice. Along the way, musk ox and reindeer tread quietly across tundra, seals and whales slip through cold water, and arctic foxes dart along craggy ridges. Zodiac cruises hug glacier fronts; walks over raised beaches and among ancient bones of whales whisper stories of survival and time.
Then on the eclipse day, find yourself within the path of totality—where the daylight dims, the sun’s corona bursts into view, and for those brief moments, day becomes twilight. In that silence, surrounded by ice and sea, you’ll carry that sight forever.
