Day 1 - Reykjavik, Iceland

Arrive: Mon 28 September 2026 / Depart: Mon 28 September 2026 at 18:00

Encircled by mountains and the sea, Reykjavik is minutes away from Iceland’s unspoiled rugged nature as the presence of arctic terns, wild geese and ducks in the city centre can testify. You will be fascinated by the natural sites and exceptional geology which surround the Icelandic capital.

Day 2 - At Sea

Day 3 - Scorsbysund

Arrive: Wed 30 September 2026 / Depart: Wed 30 September 2026

Day 4 - Bjarkoy

Arrive: Thu 01 October 2026 / Depart: Thu 01 October 2026

Halfway between Norway and Spitsbergen, you will sail not far from the coastlines of Bjørnøya, the southernmost island of Svalbard. From your ship, observe this isolated piece of land discovered in 1596 by the Dutch navigator Willem Barents, then looking for the Northwest Passage. Following a tough fight between a polar bear and the members of the expedition, he dubbed the place Bear Island. Regularly covered by a thick layer of fog, Bjørnøya shelters a meteorological station built in 1923, which is still in operation. Declared a nature reserve in 2002, the island is above all home to an enormous colony of sea birds: skuas, guillemots, puffins, Tridactyl gulls, petrels, gulls and little auks all coexist here.

Day 5 - Scorsbysund

Arrive: Fri 02 October 2026 / Depart: Fri 02 October 2026

Day 15 - Longyearbyen

Arrive: Mon 12 October 2026 / Depart: Mon 12 October 2026

Longyearbyen is the capital of the Norwegian Svalbard archipelago, located on Svalbard’s main island, and is the northernmost territorial capital on the planet. With winter temperatures dropping to below 40°C, the landscapes of this mining town are simply breathtaking. The glaciers, the mountains stretching as far as the eye can see and the untouched nature, make you feel like you’re in completely unexplored territory.

Day 16 - At Sea

Day 17 - Tromso, Norway

Arrive: Wed 14 October 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Wed 14 October 2026

A former whale hunting capital of the Arctic, Tromsö (Norway) is better known these days as the Paris of the North. A young and vibrant city, it has retained its authentic cachet thanks to the typical yet not so common wooden dwellings. The Arctic Cathedral, whose stained glass windows are among the highest in Europe, and the polar museum, are just two of many sites worth a visit.
