About the trip

This 14-night expedition with G Adventures begins in Iceland at Keflavík, giving a taste of the island’s volcanic landscapes before venturing north across the Arctic. The ship steers through Arctic waters, pausing to visit a Greenlandic community at Ittoqqortoormiit, where traditional Inuit culture lives on amidst the vast silence.

Expeditions by Zodiac craft reveal towering icebergs and the edges of ice floes, while shore excursions invite walks across tundra tracks with a keen eye for birdlife. Whales flicker past in the frigid seas, and the ship ventures closer to polar bear country in the raw wilderness of Svalbard. The final stop is Longyearbyen, deep in the High Arctic, a brief urban moment before this quiet and remote world slips behind once more.

Led by a professional expedition team, lectures and briefings fill the gaps between natural wonders and landings. The pace allows for contemplation rather than racing on, bringing the Arctic’s vast scale into focus without the need for hyperbole.
