Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1 Reykjavik, embark

Arrive in Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital, and explore the harbour city at your own pace before boarding your ship in the afternoon. Settle in as you sail out into the North Atlantic.

Day 2 At sea and Djupavik

A morning at sea along the coast, then an afternoon at Djupavik, a tiny settlement on the remote Strandir coast where a vast, near-abandoned herring factory stands as a monument to a vanished boom. Explore the museum and walk into the mountains behind the fjord.

Day 3 Skagafjordur and Drangey Island

Spend the day in Skagafjordur, a broad northern fjord with a strong Viking and farming heritage. Choose between a float trip on the glacial Jokulsa river, a whitewater option, or a visit to a historic turf farm, then cruise beneath the sheer cliffs of Drangey Island, alive with kittiwakes, shearwaters and the occasional gyrfalcon.

Days 4 - 5 East Greenland

Cross the Denmark Strait to the east coast of Greenland, into a world of drifting ice floes and towering bergs beneath the mountains. Where ice and weather allow, land to hike the tundra, cruise the fjords by Zodiac and kayak among the ice, watching for humpback and beluga whales, seals and, with luck, a polar bear on the floes.

Days 6 - 7 Iceland's Westfjords

Return across the strait to the Westfjords, the wild north western corner of Iceland. Call at Vigur Island, a tiny farmed island with its eider colony and boardwalk through puffin burrows, and explore remote fjords with walks to waterfalls, keeping watch for whales on the crossings between.

Day 8 Reykjavik, disembark

Sail into Reykjavik, disembark after breakfast and transfer to the airport for your onward journey.
