Set sail on Jewels of the Arctic, a 15-day Arctic voyage that carries you from Oslo through Svalbard and East Greenland, finally arriving in Reykjavík. It’s a journey that blends towering fjords, wild tundra, ice-carved cliffs, and the remote culture of Inuit settlements into one unforgettable adventure.
You’ll begin in Oslo before flying to Longyearbyen, where the Arctic’s silence and grandeur wash over you. In Svalbard, pack ice drifts at the fringes as you explore fjords alive with seabird colonies, walk across tundra dotted with wildflowers, and watch for polar bears patrol sea ice or walruses hauled out on rocky shores.
Then it’s on toward East Greenland: Scoresby Sund unfolds with massive glaciers birthing sculpted icebergs, and landings bring you to the ancient Inuit village of Ittoqqortoormiit. The scenery here is elemental — towering mountain walls tinted by mineral hues, quiet waterways, musk ox, reindeer, and perhaps the glaucous gull or black-legged kittiwake overhead.
Each day blends gentle adventure with rich discovery: Zodiac cruises along glacier fronts, guided hikes over tundra valleys, storytelling under midnight sun, and evenings holding space for the wild to speak.
