  • Cruising the Denmark Strait
In the Denmark Strait, we cruise towards Greenland. We will be on the lookout for whale blows and the many seabirds that trail our ship, riding in the constant winds. In our lecture theater, we enjoy informative and entertaining presentations from our experts on topics such as seabirds, wildlife and ice, or catch up on some rest after busy days of travel. ...

East Greenland, Denmark
  • East Greenland, Denmark
In summer, easing sea ice can open a broader range of possibilities along East Greenland's immense coast. Our Expedition Team will use current ice, weather, and wildlife information to shape the route each day, with all landings and Zodiac cruises subject to permits, quotas, local agreements, and site availability. Depending on conditions, exploration may range from the fjords around Tasiilaq in the south to Scoresbysund and towards Kong Oscar Fjord farther north. Ittoqqortoormiit may be possible when ice and community arrangements align, but no named destination is guaranteed. The freedom to alter course is what allows us to seek the strongest experience available. Glacier-fed waterways, striped mountains, and drifting icebergs create exceptional opportunities for Zodiac cruising and photography. On suitable shores, we may hike across colorful tundra, climb to panoramic viewpoints, or examine geological formations that reveal the deep history of this restless landscape. We remain watchful for humpback and fin whales, seals, and seabirds along the coast. On land, musk oxen and Arctic hare may appear in the northern fjord country, while every wildlife encounter is approached carefully and on the animals' terms. Human stories are inseparable from East Greenland. Archaeological remains and historic sites speak to earlier settlement and exploration, while present-day communities carry forward a living Greenlandic Inuit culture. Any community encounter will take place only where it is welcomed and operationally possible. Long summer light gives the expedition room to breathe. A promising wildlife sighting, a newly accessible fjord, or an iceberg-filled bay can reshape the day, creating a voyage defined by responsiveness rather than a checklist. ...

Greenland Sea, Greenland
  • Greenland Sea, Greenland
As we sail away from the coast of East Greenland, we may encounter whales feeding in the rich waters of the north. Be prepared to encounter more pack ice and perhaps spot seals and a variety of seabirds, including the northern fulmar and Brunnich's guillemot. The strong, icy currents have isolated East Greenland from the Polar Basin, attracting large numbers of fish, seals, and whales. Climatic conditions and the concentration of ice in the vicinity often create thick morning fog that only vanishes in presence of the midday sun. Our experts will inform and entertain us with fascinating discussions on plants, animals, ice, and heroic tales of exploration. ...

  • Svalbard, Norway
Spitsbergen offers an exceptional introduction to Arctic expedition travel. Our experienced Expedition Team will shape each day around weather, sea ice, wildlife, and the latest local information, selecting the best opportunities rather than following a fixed list of landing sites. Summer often allows us to explore a wider choice of fjords along western and northern Spitsbergen. Zodiac cruises may trace blue glacier fronts and sheltered bays, while guided walks cross flower-dotted tundra, raised beaches, and fossil-rich polar desert. Historic camps and trappers' huts reveal the human stories layered into this apparently untouched wilderness. The season is alive with wildlife. Bird cliffs resound with guillemots, kittiwakes, and puffins, and little auks stream between sea and nesting slopes. Walrus rest at coastal haul-outs, whales feed in productive waters, and reindeer graze on the tundra. Arctic foxes patrol the shore and bird colonies, while polar bears remain an unpredictable possibility throughout the archipelago. If you have selected an optional activity such as kayaking, it will be on offer whenever conditions allow. Guided walks, Zodiac excursions, and the possibility of a polar plunge make the most of the long summer days. ...
