Explore the beautiful and peaceful Westfjords region of Iceland. Perhaps take a hike to a remote waterfall, explore the remote fjords by kayak, or a Zodiac cruise alongside stunning scenery and wildlife. Enter Ísafjarðardjúp and capture stunning wildlife from the bow alongside your National Geographic photography expert, as well as stroll the streets of the capital of the Westfjords, Ísafjörður.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Sail west across the Denmark Strait, where the cold East Greenland current carries icebergs south. Scan the water for marine life and enjoy life on board. Take a yoga class, unwind with a massage in the wellness center, and curl up next to the fireplace in the library. Visit the bridge and learn about navigation. Relax in one of the twin infinity hot tubs or spend some time in the only igloo at sea. Learn about the area from our onboard historians, naturalists, and photographers, and enjoy exceptional dining options. Plus, this is the time of year to be on the lookout for northern lights displays.

Encompassing roughly 80 percent of the surface of Greenland, the Greenland ice sheet is the second-largest body of ice in the world. Weather and ice dictate our exact route, but we plan to explore well north of Scoresbysund in the largest national park in the world – Northeast Greenland National Park. We also set a course for Scoresbysund, the largest and longest fjord system on earth, with the village of Ittoqqortoormiit at its entrance. Being the end of summer, the ice has retreated as far as it ever does, allowing us to explore the fjords, bays, and nooks and crannies of this stunning coastline. We hope to see the iconic Arctic wildlife: polar bears, seals, and whales. We are also on constant watch for the northern lights, conditions permitting.
