Do you dream of exploring Iceland’s natural wonders and the magnificent fjords of Greenland? Visit two of the world’s most renowned frozen islands on one learning adventure as you embark on the expedition voyage of a lifetime. Explore Reykjavik’s Golden Circle — home to the historic Thingvellir National Park, the Gullfoss waterfall and active Strokkur geyser — before boarding your vessel and setting sail for Greenland’s western coast. From there, experience the Ilulissat Icefjord (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the Uummannaq Fjord, and discover what these regions have to teach us about icecap glaciology, human history and climate change. Your journey will conclude in Reykjavik, where you’ll have an evening to explore the city and reflect on your full taste of the landscapes and people of Iceland and Greenland.
Best of all, you'll...
  • Marvel at the colossal glaciers of Disko Bay as you get up close to them via Zodiac.
  • Visit remote Saqqaq communities in western Greenland to learn about local life.
  • Enjoy 24 hours of sunlight as you experience the Midnight Sun above the Arctic Circle.

Walking is the best way to get to know a new place. I’m energetic and enjoy a good physical challenge, so I’m always ready to spend the day on the move. Whether it’s public transit, city streets or village cobblestones, I’m game.
