Iconic Iceland
Your Arctic adventure begins in Reykjavik, from where you’ll set sail to discover the iconic highlights of Iceland. In Snafellsnes peninsula, you’ll encounter active volcanoes, serene fjords and roaring waterfalls, and be on the lookout for marine wildlife like whales and dolphins.
Voyage to the top of the world
Continuing north, you’ll head for the remote volcanic island of Jan Mayen, a bird haven home to Northern Fulmars, Brunnich’s Guillemots and Little Auks. And in the Svalbard archipelago, you’ll explore an Arctic wilderness where nature reigns supreme and the majestic – if elusive – polar bear roams the icy tundra.
