Price $14,419, per person

 

Greenland’s majestic fjords 

From Reykjavík, we’ll sail to picturesque Patreksfjörður before heading towards volcanic Jan Mayen - one of our planet’s most remote places. Continuing to stunning Svalbard, we'll visit some of Spitsbergen’s most remarkable fjords and witness awe-inspiring vistas, from the towering mountains of Hornsund to the lush, glacier-carved valleys of Isfjorden. 

If conditions favor us, we’ll then head to Greenland’s ever-changing sea-ice edge to search for wildlife, before continuing to stunning Svalbard. We plan to explore the lush fjord system of Isfjorden and head south towards Hornsund – one of the region’s most picturesque waterways. A community visit to remote Ittoqqortoormiit in east Greenland rounds off our adventure before we return to Reykjavík.
