You will embark your ship in Akureyri, Northern Iceland, this afternoon. After a welcome briefing your expedition will begin as you head towards Greenland.
Please note that an optional group transfer from central Reykjavik to Akureyri is available at an additional cost. This is a 6-hour drive departing in the morning and must be requested at the time of booking.

While sailing north you may spot see fulmars, kittiwakes, gannets and common guillemots. Whales may also make an appearance as you cross the Arctic Circle. By the end of the day you may encounter your first icebergs as you approach the east Greenland coast.

Your exploration of Scoresby Sund will be dictated by local weather, sea and ice conditions. On arrival at Scoresby Sund there may be the opportunity for a Zodiac cruise past one of the many glacier faces, or a visit to the basalt columns and ice formations of Vikingebugt. Other possible highlights may include a Zodiac cruise near Røde Ø, where the austere blue-white of vast icebergs makes sharp contrast against the brooding red backdrop of the sediment slopes. Cruising through the northern parts of Røde Fjord could provide the chance to see musk ox. Landing near Sydkap you may find Arctic hares, whilst your journey through the fjords will reveal colossal icebergs, some over 100 meters (328 feet) high and more than a kilometre (62 mile) long.

Visit Ittoqqortoormiit, the largest settlement in the region with about 500 inhabitants. An afternoon ashore will give you the chance to see how the locals live in this remote Arctic outpost, surrounded by sled dogs and drying skins of seals and musk ox. Later cruise south, passing the picturesque landscapes of the Blosseville Coast. Discover Turner Sound and Rømer Fjord which feature fewer icebergs offering the chance to sail further into the fjords. Around this area is your best opportunity for spotting narwhals and polar bears.

A final day crossing open sea may bring more whales and seabirds, and perhaps the magical northern lights too.
