Set off on the Three Arctic Islands: Iceland, Greenland & Spitsbergen, a 15-day expedition that sails you from the Arctic wilds of Spitsbergen, the “wildlife capital of the Arctic,” through remote eastern Greenland and into the vibrant heart of Iceland. This journey delivers a triple dose of Arctic magic.

Begin above the Arctic Circle in Spitsbergen, where vast glaciers carve silent fjords and the tundra teems with wildlife—from polar bears and Svalbard reindeer to walruses and seabird super‑colonies. Next, traverse into East Greenland, paddling or Zodiacing past soaring fjords and moss-lashed cliffs. Keep watch for muskoxen grazing on these ancient coasts and explore the whispers of Thule settlements that predate written history. Finally, conclude your odyssey in Iceland—where Reykjavik’s cultural brilliance meets volcanic landscapes and wild waters.

This is not just a voyage—it’s a sensory symphony: rugged landscapes, marine tapestries, and wildlife that thrives on extremes. Zodiac cruises, optional kayaking, and tundra hikes bring you into direct communion with the Arctic’s soul.
