Longyearbyen
can be spotted from above as a colourful collection of buildings set
against the dramatic landscape of Norway's northern reaches. This small
coal-mining town turned gateway to Arctic exploration offers visitors a
look into life beyond the Arctic Circle. Get to know the locals and
gear up for your expedition. Transfer from Longyearbyen to the G
Expedition for a late afternoon embarkation.
Meals

Days
2–8: At Sea/Northeast Greenland National Park
Spend
several days exploring the massive fjord system of Northeast Greenland
National Park. Head into Scorsbysund, the tree-like fjord system marked
by winding branches of iceberg-dotted fjords. Sail through and land on
some of the most spectacular fjord country in the world while exploring
rarely visited glaciers, bays, and inlets. Here, in the vast, untouched
wilderness of the park, you will be overwhelmed by the changing light
of a polar sunrise or sunset draping the mountains in lavish colours.
Dark nights allow for star-gazing and the possibility of spotting the
aurora borealis when in calm waters. Occasionally, orca, humpback, or
minke whales may be spotted, so keep a keen lookout. Bring your
binoculars and dress for the polar chill. Be immersed in the full
experience with educational lectures by expedition staff.
Meals

Day
9: Greenland Sea/Ittoqqortoormiit
After
several days traversing the far reaches of Greenland's awe-inspiring
wilderness, visit the community of Ittoqortoormiit. Although small and
far from other inhabited towns, the vibrance of life here is evident in
the brightly coloured buildings, the eager Greenlandic husky puppies,
the purr of the ATV engines racing along unpaved roads, and the warmth
of the people who call Ittoqortoormiit home.
Meals
included: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner
Days
10–13: Greenland Sea/Spitsbergen
Take
advantage of local ice and weather conditions to explore the Northwest
Spitsbergen National Park, one of those rare places on Earth blessed
with both an awe-inspiring landscape and compelling history. The
Svalbard archipelago sits halfway between Norway and the North Pole, at
the intersection of the Arctic Ocean, the Norwegian Sea, and the
Greenland Sea. Fascinating flora and fauna populate the dramatic
mountains and valleys of this island chain known by many early
explorers as the last outpost en route to the North Pole.
Meals
included: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner
Day
14: Spitsbergen/Longyearbyen
