Itinerary

Welcome to Iceland! Your Arctic voyage begins in Reykjavik, Iceland’s artistic capital city. You can arrive in Reykjavik at any time today and make your way to your hotel. You'll have the day to explore the city on your own, so you may want to visit one of the many museums, cathedrals or galleries – or perhaps seek out one of Iceland’s famous hotdogs from a popular street stall.
After a free morning to continue exploring the city, you’ll make your way to your ship in the afternoon to board your vessel and begin your expedition. After you board the ship and set sail, you’ll be able to enjoy a range of activities on board – but don’t forget to keep an eye out for Arctic animals in the wildlife-filled water!

As your Arctic adventure winds down, take in a presentation by your onboard experts, share your photos with fellow travellers, sip an icy cocktail in the bar or watch a movie - there are many activities during your time at sea. Your expedition team will also be on hand to answer any questions and point out wildlife.
Your journey comes to an end today in Reykjavik, where you’ll disembark from the ship. If you have booked post-expedition accommodation, you’ll be transferred to a central downtown location, otherwise you can make your way onward.
