    Bergen, Norway
    • Bergen, Norway
    Explore UNESCO World Heritage-listed Bryggen and mountain peaks. Your adventure begins in the charming city of Bergen. Surrounded by seven mountains and the sea, Norway's former capital is also one of its most picturesque cities. Don't miss the historic UNESCO World Heritage-listed Bryggen district, with colorful wooden houses along the wharf dating back to the 14th century. Across from Bryggen, you'll find the city's famous fish market.

    Lerwick, United Kingdom
    • Lerwick, United Kingdom
    Explore Scotland's northernmost town. Built on the herring trade, more fish comes into the port of Lerwick than in all of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland combined. The town has deep Norse roots. You'll hear it in the dialect and see it in the Viking stories that are beautifully depicted in the impressive stained-glass windows at Lerwick Town Hall. By the old waterfront, you'll find the Shetland Museum, showcasing Pictish carvings and lace shawls. Nearby, see Fort Charlotte and the regal town hall. Keep your binoculars handy to scan for gray and common seals along Lerwick's beaches, as well as local birdlife such as red-throated divers, redshanks, and curlews. ...

    Torshavn, Faroe Islands
    • Torshavn, Faroe Islands
    Visit Streymoy in the Faroe Islands. Torshavn is located on Streymoy, the largest of the Faroe Islands. Founded by Norsemen in the 10th century, Torshavn (Thor's Harbor) is one of Northern Europe's oldest capitals. Wander through the cobblestone alleyways and delight in the colorful, turf-roofed houses. In the local museums, learn about the city's origins and the flora, fauna, and geology of the Faroe Islands. About half a mile out of town, the Svartafoss waterfall tumbles over mossy rocks. And as you walk along the seafront, look out for eider ducks and the distinctive beige-tipped wings of the Faroese starling. ...

    • Elduvik, Denmark
    Surround yourself with the sounds of Faroese nature. Today, we'll stop to explore the tiny village of Elduvik, with just 23 inhabitants. It lies in the Funningsfjordur inlet in the Faroe Islands. Elduvik is split in two by the river Stora. Though small, Elduvik has a school, church, dock, and pier. From the pier, enjoy the view across the sparkling water to the nearby island of Kalsoy. It is astonishingly peaceful here. As you walk through the village's charming streets, listen for the songs of seabirds, bleating sheep, and waves from the fjord crashing on the shore. You may notice that the roofs of many houses are built in the traditional Icelandic style: They are covered in grass instead of slate, offering much-needed insulation and protection against the weather. ...

Keep your eyes peeled while on deck for wonderful marine life. Or relax in a hot tub while you watch for seabirds. Join the Expedition Team in the Science Center as they set the scene for the next leg of your cruise in northern Iceland.

    Bakkagerdi, Iceland
    • Bakkagerdi, Iceland
    Look for elves in natural beauty. Your Iceland cruise continues to the tiny, remote settlement of Bakkagerdi. According to folklore, Bakkagerdi is inhabited by a large population of local land spirits or elves, known as huldufolk, meaning 'hidden people'. Walk around town to explore this magical place. This popular hiking area features lush valleys and gorgeous scenery among colorful rhyolite rocks. The coastal cliffs are home to fulmars, kittiwakes, eider ducks, and puffins. We may also visit the Atlantic puffin colony on Hafnarholmi, a true gem for nature lovers and wildlife photographers. ...

    Husavik, Iceland
    • Husavik, Iceland
    Today, you will discover Husavik, a fascinating town that is one of the best places in the world for whale-watching. Husavik looks out over Skjalfandi Bay, a hotspot for humpback and minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbor porpoises-the elusive blue whale even makes appearances here. If you're lucky, you might see one or more of these giants at sea. Learn more about them at Husavik's Whale Museum. There's even a space exploration museum here. NASA thought Husavik's geology resembled lunar rocks and sent astronauts from their Apollo space missions here to train. You can also enjoy the geothermal waters at Geosea, which overlooks Skjalfandi bay, and pep yourself up with a beer at the local microbrewery. ...

    Akureyri, Iceland
    • Akureyri, Iceland
    Dramatic moonscapes and waterfalls. Gaze at snowcapped peaks as we cruise along Eyjafjordur, Iceland's longest fjord. It's one of the best places in Europe to spot humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbor porpoises. Look out for orcas, blue whales, and fin whales, too. Iceland's 'Northern Capital', Akureyri, sits at the base of the fjord. Here, you can enjoy the oasis of a botanical garden and visit top-notch eateries and museums. A little further afield, witness the picturesque Godafoss waterfall, where turquoise waters pound against black rocks. Keep an eye out for eider ducks and harlequin ducks at Lake Myvatn, one of Iceland's most active volcanic areas. ...

    Jan Mayen, Norway
    • Jan Mayen, Norway
    Visit an active volcano that's a haven for birdlife. Jan Mayen has no permanent residents and visits to the island are rare. In fact, we're one of the few to attempt landings here. If conditions allow, you'll set foot in one of Earth's most remote places. Jan Mayen's surreal, moss- and lichen-streaked landscape is dominated by the Beerenberg volcanic cone. It's the world's northernmost active volcano, which last erupted in 1985. You won't see land mammals here, but the island is designated an Important Bird Area, supporting large populations of northern fulmars, Brunnich's guillemots, and little auks. Look out for abundant marine life in the surrounding waters, including whales and seals. ...

    A peaceful interlude in your adventure. Spend the day relaxing as we sail deeper into the Arctic toward the Svalbard archipelago. Savor the quiet moments, simply appreciating the peaceful feeling of being at sea. This is a rare opportunity to disconnect and take a break from the modern world. Feeling active? Do a workout in the gym or simply relax in the panoramic sauna while gazing out at the view. Like always, our Expedition Team will be on hand to answer your questions and offer insights into these Arctic islands. ...

    Spitsbergen, Norway
    • Spitsbergen, Norway
    A land of spectacular beauty. Spitsbergen showcases Arctic beauty in its untouched glory - a wilderness of steep mountains, stark glaciers, and eerily beautiful islands. You'll visit some of the world's most dramatic fjords, immense U-shaped valleys, and glaciers preparing to calve icebergs into the sea. This may be your best chance to spot the region's apex predator, the magnificent polar bear, in its natural environment. They trek the ice along the coast, hunting for seals. We'll take advantage of every opportunity to land, taking small boats (RIBs) ashore for hiking and other activities. If we can, we'll launch our kayaks to enjoy the scenery in almost perfect silence. ...

    • Oslo, Norway
    The last day at the top of the world. Your Arctic adventure ends in Longyearbyen. Before your flight back to Oslo, you'll have time to explore more of Longyearbyen and do a bit of shopping - perhaps you'll pick out a warm Svalbard sweater. You'll return home knowing more about Arctic animals, history, polar ice, and climate change than when you arrived. You'll also have lifelong memories from this incredible experience. ...
