Journey highlights
Svalbard · gateway to the High Arctic
Embark in Longyearbyen and plan to visit Ny-Ålesund before exploring glaciers, fjords, sea ice and coastline. China's Yellow River Station is located in Ny-Ålesund; the actual visit and access depend on local arrangements.
Ny-Ålesund · science and expedition history
A former mining settlement transformed into an international Arctic research base, Ny-Ålesund also served as a departure point for early polar expeditions. The plan includes time around the settlement, museum and post office, subject to access.
Northeast Greenland National Park
Enter a vast wilderness coast and plan to explore Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord. Glaciers flow from the inland ice cap toward the sea, where icebergs, drift ice, rock walls and tundra shape a complete High-Arctic landscape.
King Oscar Fjord · mineral-coloured geology
Layered mountains take on varied colours from their mineral composition, contrasting with sculptural icebergs. Zodiac cruising, kayaking or hiking may be offered when weather, sea state and safety assessments allow.
Ittoqqortoormiit · an East Greenland community
A planned call at one of the region's most remote settlements offers context on Inuit traditions and present-day life in the High Arctic. Any community visit will respect the access and arrangements confirmed locally.
Reykjavík and the Golden Circle
After disembarkation, the planned Iceland programme links Reykjavík, Hallgrímskirkja and the Golden Circle, adding tectonic, geothermal and waterfall landscapes to the High-Arctic voyage.

A planned landing in Ny-Ålesund introduces a former mining town that became an international Arctic research base, with time around the settlement, museum and post office if access permits.
Svalbard
Sail north through glaciers, drift ice and coastline while looking for seals, walrus and polar bears. Zodiac cruising or landings may be offered when conditions permit.
