Oslo, Norway

Enjoy time in Oslo before flying to Svalbard. Your expedition begins in Oslo, Norway's fjord-side capital. If you have time, why not explore the city center on your own.

Cruise Begins

Longyearbyen, Norway

Get to know the town at the top of the world. After a morning flight from Oslo, your adventure begins with two nights in the world's northernmost town. A colorful frontier settlement where people are outnumbered by snowmobiles, you'll discover that Longyearbyen is a unique place on the edge of the Arctic wilderness. Spend the next two-and-a-half days exploring Longyearbyen and its surroundings. The town is perfect for getting around on foot - stroll down the main street and you might see Svalbard reindeer saunter by. But don't worry, although wild, they're curious and tame. To give you a wider look, local guides will take you on an e-bike tour of the area and present the historic backdrop to the town at the top of the world. From the expedition center you'll head out of town and along an unpaved road to Hotellneset, which has a lake and showcases the remnants of the area's mining past. Svalbard's very first hotel was built here by Hurtigruten pioneer Richard With before the modern town we see today had even been constructed. We'll then head back into Longyearbyen along the 'Burma Road', which was an important link for coal being shipped from the harbor, enjoying panoramic views as we ride. Sights along the way include an old funicular, the historic Svalbard Church, and the ruined remains of the original Longyearbyen, which was bombed during WWII. From here we'll continue under the steep cliffs of the Plateau Mountain, passing the graveyard and the iconic Huset - a building which has been everything from a cinema to bar, school, and church. We will continue on to Coal Miners' Cabins, the original miners' home, and enjoy a relaxed lunch before completing our tour and returning to the hotel. On Day 4 you'll have the morning to finish off looking around Longyearbyen before boarding the ship in the afternoon and beginning our expedition cruise. ...

Ny Alesund, Norway

Experience science, serenity, and epic scenery. Today, you'll discover the serenity of Ny-Alesund, a former mining town and one of the northernmost settlements in the world, strategically located at the entry into beautiful Kongsfjord. The coal deposits were claimed in 1909 and exploitation started shortly after, supported by investors from the Norwegian town of Alesund, hence the name of Ny-Alesund. After operations ceased in 1962, the town was abandoned until polar scientists realized it would be a fantastic base for all kinds of Arctic research. Now an international hub for global science and climate research, including China's Yellow River station, you can still see remnants of the town's history, closely connected to Roald Amundsen's expeditions north with the airship 'Norge'. Disconnect and enjoy a day without distractions as the Norwegian Mapping Authority's nearby geodetic station means we must switch off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. ...

At Sea

Getting ready for Greenland - Kalaallit Nunaat. As we sail into the Greenland Sea on our way to the world's largest island, it's time to relax, find your sea legs and get acquainted with the onboard facilities. The Expedition Team will give talks about your upcoming adventure and explain the protocols of respectfully visiting wildlife habitats and Indigenous Arctic communities. In the lecture hall, you'll find out what to expect in the epic landscapes of East Greenland National Park and the stunning fjords of Scoresby Sund. If you're feeling active, head to the gym and work out with a view. On the other hand, you could try out the sauna, relax in a hot tub, indulge yourself at the onboard eateries, or just find a quiet corner to read a book with a hot drink. Love science? Then join one of the onboard Citizen Science projects, a fun and engaging way to contribute to global research. ...

Scoresbysund, Greenland

Explore the wild east. We'll spend the next eight days exploring Greenland's remote and pristine east coast. Extending for over 1,740 miles from north to south, this long stretch of coast is cold, isolated, and remote even by Greenlandic standards. The south-flowing East Greenland Current brings lots of sea ice directly from the Arctic Ocean, challenging human settlement but creating a heaven for ice-dependent wildlife, including the polar bear. Local weather and ice conditions will dictate our exact route, but our plan is to sail first to Scoresby Sund, the world's largest fjord system. You'll feel a deep sense of serenity in this wild and rugged region with white-and-blue icebergs floating in mirror-like waters surrounded by looming mountains. If conditions permit, we'll visit Ittoqqortoormiit - the most remote inhabited community in the western hemisphere. Should the sea ice be favorable, we'll continue our journey north to the beautiful Northeast Greenland National Park - the world's largest national park. Visiting this fragile Artic wilderness is a rare privilege as only a few visitors are permitted here each year. Apart from old trapper huts, some science research stations, and a military outpost, there are very few traces of human life in this 375,000-square-mile park. Be assured that this is one of the quietest places on Earth, and you'll enjoy a feeling of great peace as we explore this beautiful wilderness. As this is an expedition cruise, the captain and Expedition Team will guide us to the most favorable spots on a day-by-day basis. Our goal will be to pack in as many shore landings, small-boat cruises, nature walks, kayaking adventures, and wildlife sightings as possible. ...

Cruising the Denmark Strait

Heading to Iceland. After exploring the remote beauty of Greenland, we'll set our course back to Iceland. Spend the days at sea recapping your experiences with your new friends, studying nature in the Science Center, listening to a lecture or two, or just relaxing on deck. Look out for the seabirds that follow our ship and keep an eye out for whales. East Greenland's beauty is sure to have left its mark on you, so reflect on what you've seen - from the delicate ecology of the fjord systems to the ethereal elegance of the floating ice. ...
