YOUR TRIP

Embark on the Wild Arctic luxury cruise, a captivating journey from Svalbard to Iceland, taking in the East Greenland coast. The experience begins at Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen, making its way through the pristine landscapes of Svalbard, across the Norwegian Sea, stopping at the remote Jan Mayen Island, and winding down at Reykjavik.

The journey offers a diverse range of destinations, each with its own unique allure. In Svalbard, explore abundant wildlife and spectacular glaciers, while East Greenland’s Scoresby Sund is the largest fjord system on Earth, a labyrinth of towering cliffs and drifting icebergs. Visit Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the most isolated settlements in Greenland, where a handful of residents maintain a traditional Arctic way of life. Jan Mayen Island’s stark beauty, with its active volcano, and the charming villages of Ísafjörður and Vigur Island in Iceland, round out this remarkable itinerary.

The activities ensure every moment is filled with adventure. Experience thrilling zodiac tours at the mouth of tidewater glaciers, or opt for serene kayaking excursions led by the Swan Hellenic Expedition Team. Engage in insightful onboard lectures or enhance your photography skills.

Svalbard
Days 2-4
Svalbard is the kingdom of the polar bears, deep in the Arctic Circle, featuring varied polar landscapes and gargantuan glaciers. Beyond magnificent fjords in the north, the remaining sea ice serves as prime hunting grounds for polar bears. Closer to Longyearbyen, tundra and beaches replace snow and ice. Alongside 600 polar bears, this Arctic hotspot is home to walrus, Svalbard reindeer, ringed seals and arctic fox

Jan Mayen Island
Day 7
The snow-covered stratovolcano Beerenberg dominates the ice cap and glaciers at the northeast end of Jan Mayen Island. Halfway between Svalbard and Iceland, this Norwegian island's only residents are the Norwegian Armed Forces or meteorological station staff. Purple saxifrage and endemic dandelions grow next to the black sands, while northern fulmars, Brünnich’s and black guillemots and little auks make Jan Mayen an important birding area.

Scoresbysund
Days 8-10
The world’s largest fjord system, Scoresbysund spans over 350 km into Greenland’s heart. This vast network of fjords, glaciers and icebergs is framed by towering basalt mountains, which shield Greenland’s wildlife from Arctic winds. Muskoxen, Arctic foxes and mountain hares roam the land, while little auks, puffins, fulmars, snowy owls, gyrfalcons and great black-backed gulls soar overhead. Seals and whales are common sightings in the waters.

Ittoqqortoormiit
Day 10
In the southeastern part of Greenland, the city of Ittoqqortoormiut appears, on the territory of which only 500 people live. A thick layer of sea ice prevents ships from approaching the city's port for nine months of the year, so he arrived in this remote city. Ittoqqortoormiut was founded in 1925 by the Danish explorer Einar Mikkelsen and a group of about 80 Inuit, covering a vast hunting ground. There is still hunting and sea fishing. The territory of Ittoqqortoormiit is home to white foxes, bears and seal colonies.

Vigur Island
Day 12
A jewel of the Westfjords, Vigur is the fjord's second-largest island and a thriving seabird sanctuary. Flocks of arctic terns, puffins, guillemots and eider ducks nest atop rocky cliffs. As one of only two inhabited islands, Vigur supports a family farm continuing the centuries-old eiderdown harvest across 3,500 nests. This remote pillar also houses Iceland's sole windmill, its tiniest post office and a 200-year-old, still-seaworthy rowing boat.

Dynjandi Waterfall
Day 13
Considered one of Iceland’s most impressive falls, the thunderous Dynjandi waterfall in the Westfjords region gives the impression of a bridal veil as it spreads down ever-growing cascades. The walk takes 15 minutes passing five smaller waterfalls.

Reykjavik
Day 14
Make sure there is sufficient timeto explore this diminutive but dramatic capital city. Despite its small size, you won’t be short of things to see and do. To get your bearings, take the elevator to the top of Hallgrímskirkja. This church, designed by famed Icelandic architect Gudjón Samuelsson is one of the most distinctive buildings in town. When you return to earth, visit the city’s other renowned building Harpa Concert Hall, located at the heart of Reykjavík's regenerated harbour – also the home of the Maritime Museum. Speaking of cultural spaces, tour the National Museum to learn the story of Iceland from past to present. The Reykjavík Art Museum houses an impressive contemporary collection including eye-catching pieces by Erró. And, of course, just 50 kilometres outside the city lies Thingvellir National Park, the site of Iceland’s original Viking parliament.
