All itineraries are for guidance only. Programs may vary depending on ice, weather, and wildlife conditions. Landings are subject to site availabilities, permissions, and environmental concerns per AECO regulations. Official sailing plans and landing slots are scheduled with AECO prior to the start of the season, but the expedition leader determines the final plan. Flexibility is paramount for expedition cruises. The average cruising speed of our vessel is 10.5 knots.

Chart an epic course from Iceland into the mazy fjords of Greenland and the beautiful world of the pack ice as you head north. Crossing the Greenland Sea, this combination cruise then takes you through the Svalbard Archipelago, exploring glaciers, mountains, and tundra, before crossing the Norwegian Sea and stopping at Bear Island en route.
